Legislation

Restores access to critical crime victims’ services for undocumented folks.

Would establish the Idaho E-Verify Act—a bureaucratic “prove yourself to work” system that hurts ordinary people.

Would require hospitals that accept Medicaid to collect the immigration status of patients and report to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Would require Idaho public schools to collect immigration status data from students and send reports to the state.

Would create criminal offenses for anyone who “conceals, harbors, or shields” undocumented immigrants.

HB 700 would make it a misdemeanor for an employer to knowingly employ, recruit, or refer unauthorized workers in Idaho.

HB 704 contains all the mandatory E-Verify requirements and escalating penalties of HB 584, but eliminates every protection and carve-out. This makes it the most dangerous of the four E-Verify bills.

Would mandate a statewide E-Verify system where employers would have to verify new hires through a “prove yourself to work” system that hurts ordinary people.

Would require Idaho law enforcement agencies to verify, record, and publicly report the immigration status and nationality of individuals who are arrested.
