Chamber of Commerce of the USA, et al. v. Henry, et al. (W.D. Ok.).The court's June 4, 2008, order came only days before one of the disputed provisions was scheduled to take effect.

Report Link New Executive Order Requires All Federal Contractors to Use E-Verify.Phelps Dunbar LLP - July 09, 2008 On June 6, 2008, President Bush issued Executive Order 12989 ("EO 12989"), directing all federal departments and agencies to require federal contractors to use the government's E-Verify Program. Pursuant to EO 12989, all federal contractors must verify the employment eligibility of all new hires and current employees assigned to work on future federal contracts. E-Verify is the web-based program operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in partnership with the Social Security Administration that allows employers to verify the work authorization of new employees. Federal contractors who refuse to use E-Verify will be deemed ineligible to do business with the federal government. EO 12989 also instructs federal agencies not to do business with federal contractors who "knowingly employ unauthorized alien workers."

All U.S. employers are responsible for completion and retention of I-9 forms for each individual hired for employment in the U.S., including both citizens and non-citizens. On the I-9 form, the employer must verify the employment eligibility and identity documents presented by the employee and record the document information on the Form I-9.

Typically, such unanswered questions are addressed in implementing regulations. On June 9, 2008, agencies responsible for administering the Federal Acquisition Regulations sent a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to the Federal Register, setting forth proposed implementing regulations (the "Proposed Rule").
