The bill H. 3218 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 41-8-125, which grants specific law enforcement entities and the Department of Employment and Workforce the right to receive copies of E-Verify documentation maintained by employers. The entities entitled to these documents include the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the Office of the Attorney General, the solicitor in the circuit where the employee works, and the Department of Employment and Workforce. Employers are required to provide these copies upon request.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that any party making such a request must rely on the federal government for verifying an employee's employment eligibility and is prohibited from making an independent final determination regarding whether an employee is an unauthorized alien. This legislation is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
