SB664 mandates employers use the E-Verify system to affirm the legal status of new hires.
The Florida State Senate passed SB664 on March 13, 2020 by a vote of 23 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because E-Verify is an effective and free-to-use system, used by employers to determine the legal eligibility of their employees. Unscrupulous employers who hire illegal migrants create a shadow economy that is harmful to legal job applicants. Mandating use of E-Verify prevents employers from breaking the law.
