SAFE Contracting Act

This bill requires all companies bidding on federal contracts - including their parent companies, subsidiaries, and subcontractors - to certify they are enrolled in and compliant with the federal E-Verify program, which confirms work authorization. Federal agencies cannot award contracts without this certification and must annually publish compliance status for all contractors on public websites. Contractors failing to comply face a 30-day correction period, after which they may be suspended from federal work. The law applies directly to businesses seeking federal contracts, ensuring all tiers of contractors meet E-Verify requirements.
