Industries like construction are particularly affected, with the projection showing the need for over 500,000 additional workers annually.

This important legislation will hold these fraudsters accountable, and I urge my colleagues to support it. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Thank you, Chairman Williams for including this legislation in our markup today and I hope that all of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will agree that simple, clear language is a way to ensure prosperity for our small businesses.

I ask my colleagues to support the passage of this commonsense reform.
