Senate Bill 990, also known as House Bill 1194, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance the state's E-Verify program. The bill mandates that the office responsible for E-Verify must create and publish a report detailing the number of employers enrolled in the program or those for whom work authorization status checks have been conducted. This new requirement aims to improve transparency and accountability regarding the use of E-Verify among employers in Tennessee.

The provisions of this act will take effect on January 1, 2026, ensuring that the necessary preparations can be made for its implementation. The addition of the reporting requirement is intended to provide valuable data on employer participation in E-Verify, thereby supporting efforts to ensure compliance with work authorization laws.
