Texas HB3681 mandates public and private employers to use the federal E-verify program to check new hires' work eligibility and report unverified.

Texas HB3681 requires both public and private employers to register and participate in the federal E-verify program to verify the employment authorization of all new hires. If a federal agency cannot verify a new hire's eligibility, employers must report this to the Department of Public Safety within five days. The Department of Public Safety will then determine if the individual may be unlawfully present and notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement if necessary. The bill also creates a criminal offense for employers who violate these requirements, classified as a Class A misdemeanor.
