Summary
The bill would expand Florida’s E‑Verify requirement, currently only for public agencies, to private companies that have 25 or more workers. Those employers would have to verify each new employee’s eligibility and certify compliance annually when filing tax returns. The aim is to ensure all new hires are legally authorized to work.
