Governor Pritzker has signed Senate Bill 0508 into law, introducing new requirements for Illinois businesses. The legislation, supported by progressive Democrats, impacts employers' use of the E-Verify system to determine if job applicants or current employees are legally authorized to work in the United States.
The Cook County Record reports that while the new law does not explicitly prohibit the use of E-Verify, it significantly complicates its application. The changes could make it nearly impossible for most Illinois employers to utilize the system effectively.
Critics argue that this legislation represents a significant shift in employment practices and expresses concerns about its implications for American jobs.
