Committee sends Idaho E-Verify Act draft to print
Summary
Senators advanced RS 33130, an Idaho E-Verify Act proposal that would require state and local governments and employers with more than 150 workers to use federal E-Verify pilot programs for new hires; the committee voted to send the draft to print for formal drafting.
Senator Harris introduced RS 33130, described as the Idaho E-Verify Act, which the committee moved to send to print for formal drafting. Harris said the draft would require state and local governments and employers with more than 150 employees to implement use of federal E-Verify pilot programs when hiring new employees.
Senator Bernt moved to send the draft to print; Senator Adams seconded the motion, and it carried by voice vote. The committee did not take a final floor vote on the policy itself at the meeting.
Harris characterized the proposal as an employment-screening requirement that would apply to public employers as well as private employers above the stated employee threshold. Committee members did not record a roll-call vote; the motion advanced the draft to legislative staff for formal preparation and potential future consideration.
The transcript records the draft's stated scope (state and local governments, employers with over 150 employees) and identifies "federal E-Verify pilot programs" as the mechanism the draft would use, but does not specify enforcement details, effective dates, or implementation funding.
