As a
member of the House Labor and Industry Committee, I voted this week to
send to the full House a bill requiring construction industry employers
to participate in the federal E-Verify Program (EVP) and federal Social
Security Number Verification Service (NVS). House Bill 380
would require employers to verify through NVS the Social Security
numbers of current employees, and, within three days of the first day of
employment, use EVP to determine the eligibility of new hires. The bill
states that a first violation would be considered a warning; however,
if an employer is found to knowingly hire an individual not verified
through the programs, the secretary of labor and industry can forfeit
all licenses or certifications for up to 90 days for a second violation
and for up to three years for a subsequent violation. House Bill 380 now
goes before the full House for consideration.| Office Locations |
