Nebraska’s unicameral legislature is considering Legislative Bill 34, a bill that mandates all employers begin using E-Verify in 2010 and also calls for the revocation of business licenses for employers knowingly employing unauthorized workers.

Wyoming House Bill 103 is somewhat broader. It has a harboring statute like the Oklahoma and Utah laws. E-Verify would be mandated for all employers and will be phased in over three years starting with state and local agency employees as well as employers contracting with those agencies, then large employers and eventually the smaller ones as well.

The bill also imposes fines on employers knowingly hiring unauthorized workers, something that seems an obvious violation of IRCA which only permits states to use their license laws in enforcing immigration rules (and even that is debatable).
