Requiring business entities and public employers to register and use the e-verify program for employment purposes and prohibiting income tax deductions for wages and remuneration paid to unauthorized aliens.

SB 196 requires all Kansas business entities (including for-profit and non-profit organizations) and public employers (state agencies) to use the federal e-verify program to confirm work authorization for new employees hired on or after July 1, 2025. It prohibits employers from deducting wages paid to non-citizens without federal work authorization from income tax calculations. The bill defines "unauthorized aliens" per federal law (8 U.S.C. § 1324a(h)(3)) and makes it unlawful to knowingly hire or refer such individuals. Enforcement is handled by county attorneys or the state attorney general through civil actions.
