Subcommittee Chairman Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA) started the hearing by explaining his legislation to expand E-Verify. "I have introduced H.R. 2641, the Day 1, Dollar 1 E-Verify Act, to codify a requirement that all federal contractors use E-Verify."

An official House committee recap shows Mackenzie publicly advancing the E-Verify expansion idea and identifying H.R. 2641 as his legislative vehicle.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Mackenzie promised to keep working to expand E-Verify, and in his first federal term he introduced H.R. 2641 to require federal contractors to use E-Verify, publicly advanced it in committee activity, and saw it ordered reported by the House Judiciary Committee. That is a serious, material legislative effort toward the promise. However, the evidence does not show the bill became law or that the promised expansion was implemented, so the outcome was not fully delivered.

never same_term A for effort

Mackenzie made a concrete same-term legislative effort by introducing H.R. 2641 to require federal contractors to use E-Verify, and the bill advanced through committee markup. However, the evidence shows the bill remained introduced/reported and had not become law, so the promised outcome of expanding E-Verify use was not delivered. Under the rule for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this is 'never' with an effort badge.
