The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Labor Code as it relates to requiring sexually oriented businesses to participate in the federal electronic verification of employment authorization program, E-verify. Under the provisions of the bill, a person who fails to register and participate in the E-verify program as outlined in the bill would commit a Class B misdemeanor.

 

A Class B misdemeanor is punishable by confinement in county jail for a term not to exceed 180 days and in addition to confinement, an optional fine not to exceed $2,000.

This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.
