model confidence 80%
Imposes immediate termination on any subdivision employee responsible for hiring who fails to use E-Verify, adding an enforcement mechanism for the verification mandate.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates E-Verify participation by all Texas political subdivisions for new employees 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.
