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

The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation. By mandating this report, the legislation seeks to provide valuable insights into the participation of employers in the E-Verify system, thereby supporting efforts to ensure lawful employment practices within the state.
