Florida Provides Guidance on State’s New Immigration Law – Register for FL Chapter Conference to Learn More!

The state of Florida recently enacted legislation that will have a significant impact on employers across the state. Senate Bill 1718 (SB1718), which Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law on May 10, requires private employers with 25 or more employees to use E-Verify for all new hires, effective July 1, 2023.

The Florida Department of Revenue recently provided some guidance clarifying which employers are covered by SB1718’s requirements, although some questions remain.
