Bill would require employers E-Verify all new employees
Redman
A new bill introduced Friday morning in the Idaho Legislature would prohibit all Idaho employers from hiring non-U.S. citizens who do not have the legal authorization to work in the United States.
The bill, House Bill 252, also requires every Idaho business and employer to enroll in and use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify program to verify new employees’ authorization to work beginning Jan. 1.
“It is unlawful for any employer to knowingly employ, hire, recruit, or refer, either for the employer itself or on behalf of another, for private or public employment within the state an unauthorized worker who is not duly authorized to be employed by law,” the bill states.
