HB921

Ohio HB921 mandates additional employers to use E-verify for employment eligibility verification.

Ohio HB921 amends the state's Revised Code to require nonresidential construction contractors, subcontractors, and labor brokers to use the E-verify program to confirm the employment eligibility of their employees. The bill defines "covered employee" and mandates verification within specific timeframes. It also outlines penalties for non-compliance, including fines and disqualification from state contracts. The attorney general is tasked with investigating violations and enforcing the law. The bill creates an E-verify enforcement fund to support these efforts.
