On September 1, 2009, four business associations filed in federal court for an emergency injunction to delay the implementation of the new E-Verify requirement for certain federal contractors, which will become effective on September 8, 2009, under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).   Check back for updates.

UPDATE:  The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Maryland denied the injunction filed by the business coalition led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; however, an appeal will be filed with the Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.  Until a decision is reached, the E-Verify rule for Federal contractors is in effect.
