As of July 1, a new day has dawned for any Florida employer that employs 25 or more employees. A new, comprehensive immigration law recently passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken effect. That law, commonly known as Senate Bill (SB) 1718, will require covered employers to change the way they hire employees. The law mandates that every newly hired employee must be processed through the federal government's E-Verify system and that the process must be completed within three days of the date of hire. By some estimates, Florida is home to about 800,000 undocumented immigrants and many work in the kinds of businesses such as agriculture, hospitality, and construction that would be impacted by this new law.
