UNAUTHORIZED WORKERS – Adds to existing law to establish certain requirements for employers to verify the lawful status of workers.

Idaho's H 584 requires all employers (including government entities) to verify the legal work status of new hires within three days of employment. Starting July 1, 2026, employers must enroll in the federal E-Verify program to confirm authorization, with acceptable proof including Idaho driver's licenses, state ID cards, or other government-issued documents showing lawful presence. The bill prohibits knowingly employing unauthorized workers and authorizes the Idaho Department of Labor to access state agency records (like DMV data) solely to verify work eligibility, while prohibiting state officials from independently determining immigration status.
