Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Alford, would require certain nonprofit groups to use the federal E-Verify system. E-Verify is an online tool that lets employers check if their workers are legally allowed to work in the United States.
  • The rule would apply to 501(c)(3) nonprofits—which are usually charities or religious groups—if they pay people to do political work. This includes things like managing a political campaign or other activities meant to influence elections.
  • The bill aims to ensure that anyone being paid by these organizations to help with the political process is authorized to work in the country. It adds a new layer of oversight for groups that are active in political management.
  • If this bill becomes law, these specific nonprofits would have to sign up for E-Verify and follow all its rules for checking new hires, similar to the requirements already in place for many large businesses and government contractors.
