Relating to the use of the E-Verify employment verification system in employment.

HB 3457 requires all Oregon employers to use the federal E-Verify system to confirm the U.S. work authorization of every new employee hired after the bill's effective date in 2025. This applies directly to every business and organization in Oregon that hires new staff, mandating verification through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's online system. The bill does not create new eligibility standards but requires employers to use the existing federal E-Verify process for all new hires. It takes effect after the 2025 legislative session concludes.
