Summary
The bill makes any private employer with 25 or more employees—and state, county, and municipal agencies—required to verify new hires through the federal E‑Verify system. It creates a 30‑day cure period for first‑time violations, escalates civil penalties for repeat offenses, and protects workers who report suspected violations from retaliation. Funding is set aside to staff enforcement of the new rules.
