Require employers to use E-Verify to confirm employee work eligibility in the United States.
Occurrences
Evidence
"Employers should be required to use E-verify to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States."
Under "Cosponsored Legislation," Davidson's office lists "H.R. 250 Legal Workforce Act."
The bill's official title is "To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make mandatory and permanent requirements relating to use of an electronic employment eligibility verification system" and the actions page shows only "01/09/2025 | Introduced in House."
The cosponsor list includes "Rep. Davidson, Warren [R-OH-8]" with a cosponsorship date of 08/26/2025.
USCIS states that E-Verify "Is voluntary for most employers."
Congress.gov still shows H.R. 251 as introduced in the House and referred to committee, with Warren Davidson listed as a later cosponsor on 08/26/2025; the record shows no enactment or floor passage.
Assessments
Davidson repeatedly backed mandatory E-Verify, including campaign language and cosponsoring the Legal Workforce Act in Congress, but the bill never advanced to enactment. The official federal record still shows E-Verify as voluntary for most employers, so the promised nationwide requirement was not delivered.
The promised outcome was a federal requirement that employers use E-Verify. The evidence shows Davidson supported and cosponsored Legal Workforce Act legislation intended to mandate E-Verify, which is a serious legislative effort. However, the bill had not become law, and USCIS still describes E-Verify as voluntary for most employers. Because the required nationwide employer mandate was not delivered, the outcome is never, with effort recognized.
