(Des Moines) This past week the Judiciary Committee discussed Senate File 84, requiring employers to use E-Verify to ensure they are not violating federal immigration law, which prohibits illegal immigrants’ employment.
“We passed the E-verify Bill out of committee requiring employers to use E-Verify to assure their employees are here legally,” said Shipley.
The Nodaway Republican Senator says currently, the law makes this practice voluntary, and while many employers use it, many do not. Shipley says this is an important bill to keep Iowa’s business climate fair for both employers and potential workers.
