Bill > HB3457

This bill requires all employers in Oregon to use the federal E-Verify employment verification system to confirm the legal work eligibility of every new employee hired on or after the effective date of the law in 2025. E-Verify is an internet-based system administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that allows employers to electronically verify the employment eligibility of new hires by cross-referencing employee information with government records. By mandating the use of this system, the bill aims to ensure that employers in Oregon only hire individuals who are legally authorized to work in the United States, which could help prevent unauthorized employment and support immigration enforcement efforts. The bill provides a clear definition of the E-Verify system and establishes a universal requirement for its use across all employers in the state, regardless of the size or type of business.
