Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the scope of E-Verify requirements to all private employers, adds compliance certification and penalties for failure to use it, increases sanctions for hiring unauthorized aliens (including license revocation and higher fines when harm occurs), and authorizes law enforcement use of E-Verify for immigration status checks on detainees while barring restrictions on such use. All provisions substantively address immigration enforcement by broadening verification mandates, cooperation, and penalties.
