SB329

Require employers to use e-verify for employment eligibility

Failed·5/23/25

Montana SB329 mandates employers to use e-verify for employment eligibility verification.

Montana SB329 requires employers to use the e-verify system to check the employment eligibility of new hires. Employers must register with e-verify, submit employee information for verification, and maintain records of verified work authorization. Employers hiring before October 1, 2025, or those not required to verify under federal law are exempt. The attorney general enforces compliance, with penalties for violations and the ability to suspend or revoke business licenses for repeat offenders.
