MODERATE
The bill was amended to remove the section requiring employers to post specific notices about E-Verify and to delete the requirement for employers to attest to completing specific training. New sections were added to clarify that the Act applies to both public and private employers and to grant the Attorney General the authority to intervene in civil actions related to violations. The section detailing administrative enforcement powers was also reorganized.
Scope change
The bill's scope was expanded to explicitly include public employers, whereas the previous version did not specify this applicability.
REQUIREMENT
The requirement for employers to post specific notices regarding E-Verify enrollment and anti-discrimination was removed from the text.
The mandate for employers to attest under penalty of perjury that they have completed specific training materials was removed.
SCOPE
A new provision explicitly states that the Act applies to both public and private employers.
ENFORCEMENT
New authority was granted to the Attorney General to initiate or intervene in civil actions if there is reasonable cause to believe a violation of the Act has occurred.
The section regarding administrative enforcement by the Department of Labor was reorganized and renumbered, shifting focus to general investigation powers and complaint resolution.
