South Dakota employers would be required to verify that new employees are legally eligible to work through the federal E-Verify program and maintain records of that verification. Employers who fail to comply face civil penalties of $2,000 per violation, which the attorney general can pursue. Additionally, individuals who knowingly provide false information to an employer to avoid E-Verify checks would face criminal penalties as a Class 1 misdemeanor.
