Florida Chamber Seeks Employer Feedback Regarding E-Verify

​Take the Survey

​Several immigration bills have been filed this year that would require all Florida private employers to use the federal E-Verify system, increase penalties for noncompliance, and include other provisions that could be problematic for Florida businesses. Under current Florida law, employers with more than 25 employees are required to use E-Verify, and employers with less than 25 employees can choose to use the I-9 employment eligibility form or E-Verify. Proponents of the legislation argue these measures are necessary due to the federal government’s prior failure to secure the nation’s borders and that mandatory E-Verify will prevent access to these jobs which are an incentive for someone to be in the United States illegally.

The Florida Chamber is gathering employer feedback to better understand how these proposed changes could impact Florida's business community. With this year’s state proposals under consideration, they are requesting feedback by completing a quick 4-question survey.  Your input will help inform their advocacy efforts and ensure lawmakers consider the real-world effects on employers.
