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 addition 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 bill emphasizes the importance of utilizing existing resources to fulfill the reporting requirement, thereby promoting efficient use of state resources while enhancing oversight of employment verification processes.
