HB1019Relating to requiring political subdivisions of this state to participate in the federal electronic verification of employment authorization program, or E-verify.
Direction
Immigration enforcementemployment e verifyAI label
Requires all political subdivisions (including local governments and school districts) to register and use E-Verify for new hires, so more immigration enforcement via mandatory employer verification.
A political subdivision shall register and participate in the E-verify program to verify information of all new employees.
Imposes immediate termination on subdivision employees who fail to comply with the E-Verify mandate, strengthening enforcement of the verification requirement.
An employee of a political subdivision who is responsible for verifying information of new employees of the political subdivision as required by Subsection (b) is subject to immediate termination of employment if the employee fails to comply with that subsection.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates E-Verify participation by all political subdivisions and adds a penalty of immediate termination for responsible employees who fail to comply, both of which expand the scope of state and local immigration enforcement through employment verification.
