On July 1, private employers with 25 or more employees must use the federal E-Verify system to verify a new employee's employment eligibility. Public agencies are also required to use the E-Verify system to verify a new employee's employment eligibility.
Employers cannot continue to employ an unauthorized alien after obtaining knowledge that a person is or has entered the county illegally.

(This was an earlier draft)
SB 1718 would amend Title XLVI of the Florida Statutes, Section 787.07, to provide criminal penalties for "persons who knowingly and willfully violate, or who reasonably should know and who violate, certain provisions relating to the transporting into or within [Florida]" of illegal immigrants. The proposed amendment would also criminalize the "concealing, harboring, or shielding from detection, or the attempt thereof," of undocumented immigrants. These actions would be considered a third-degree felony under the proposed amendment. Link
