This bill mandates that New Hampshire employers with more than 25 employees utilize the E-Verify system to confirm the work authorization of newly hired employees. It introduces a new subdivision to RSA 275-A, which includes definitions for key terms such as "employer," "employee," and "E-Verify." Employers are required to retain verification records for the duration of employment and for one year thereafter. The bill also establishes a process for individuals to file complaints regarding violations of the verification requirement, including provisions for anonymous complaints and penalties for false filings.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the labor commissioner in investigating complaints, including the authority to issue subpoenas for employment records and to notify federal and local authorities if an unauthorized alien is suspected. It specifies penalties for employers who fail to comply with the verification requirements, including civil penalties that escalate with repeated violations. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and does not apply to state agencies or governmental bodies. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the enforcement of work authorization verification in New Hampshire while providing a structured complaint and investigation process.
