Require use of E-verify for employment

This bill (LC 2757) proposed requiring all employers in the state to use the federal E-Verify system to confirm the work authorization of new hires. It would have directly affected businesses of all sizes hiring employees, mandating electronic verification of immigration status instead of relying on paper I-9 forms alone. The key provision would have required employers to check all new employees against federal databases before hiring. However, the bill never advanced beyond the drafting stage, as it was placed "On Hold" in December 2024 and later "Died in Process" in May 2025. No policy changes were enacted under this bill.
