Int 1272-2025

Restricting employers from using E-Verify or any other employment eligibility verification system to check the employment authorization status of an employee or an applicant who has not been offered employment.

This bill would prohibit employers from using E-Verify or any other employment eligibility verification system to check the work authorization status of employees and job applicants who have not been offered employment, except when federally required. This bill would also require employers to post a notice of their enrollment in the E-Verify system in an area that is visible to both prospective and current employees. Employers additionally would be required to issue a tentative nonconfirmation notice to employees if they are not found within the E-Verify system. Any violations of this proposed legislation would result in a civil penalty of $10,000.
