Prohibits the employment of unauthorized aliens and requires employers to use E-Verify program.

This bill would require all employers in New Jersey to use the federal E-Verify system to check the work authorization status of new employees, with larger companies (100+ employees) starting by December 2020 and smaller businesses following by December 2021. The legislation prohibits employers from intentionally or knowingly hiring individuals who lack legal work authorization under federal law. To enforce these rules, the state would conduct random audits and investigate complaints, imposing civil penalties of $100 to $1,000 per violation for non-compliance. The Attorney General or county prosecutors would handle investigations into intentional violations, while state officials would rely on federal verification for immigration status rather than making independent determinations.
