Narrowing the statute's reference to a specific federal official may clarify intent for some readers but risks leaving enforcement responsibility unclear and inviting legal disputes that affect immigrants, employers, and government agencies.
No clear benefits identified in the provided sections.
Immigrants, government contractors, and federal agencies: the bill narrows which federal official is referenced in the statute, reducing clarity about who holds enforcement responsibility and how those responsibilities should be carried out.
Employers and government agencies: changing the referenced official may create short-term legal ambiguity and increase the risk of litigation over which agency or official has authority that was previously tied to the Attorney General reference.

Deletes the words "or by the Attorney General" from the statutory text of 8 U.S.C. §1324a(h)(3), narrowing the phrase that names the government authority in that definition. The change is a targeted, technical amendment to remove an explicit reference to the Attorney General from that provision and may affect which federal office is identified in connection with enforcement or definitions under that section.
