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 reporting.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the labor commissioner in investigating complaints, holding hearings, and imposing civil penalties for violations. It specifies that the commissioner may issue subpoenas for employment records during investigations and must verify work authorization with federal authorities when necessary. The penalties for non-compliance include fines that escalate with repeated violations. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and it does not apply to state agencies or governmental bodies.
