Homestead, Florida - May 31, 2023 - Workers at a nursery in South Miami-Dade
County Jose A. Iglesias jiglesias@elnuevoherald.com

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a legislative package on immigration that will
begin to take effect on July 1st. The legislation, SB1718 targets undocumented
immigrants in the state, and is meant to discourage immigration into Florida.
The Miami Herald found the law has created a climate of fear among undocumented
workers in the state, as well as among employers.

Here are the main aspects of the new law:

▪ People are barred from driving if their driver license is issued by another
state that provides them to undocumented immigrants.

▪ It will be more difficult for nonresident undocumented immigrants to apply for
Florida driver licenses.

▪ It will be a third-degree felony for an unauthorized immigrant to knowingly
use a false identification document, or to fraudulently use an identification
document of another person, to obtain employment.

▪ People in the custody of a law enforcement agency and subject to an
immigration detainer will have to submit a DNA sample.



▪ Hospitals that accept Medicaid will be required to include a question on
registration forms asking about a patient’s immigration status. Hospitals must
submit quarterly reports to the state’s healthcare agency.

▪ The new law facilitates cooperation between local law enforcement and federal
immigration agencies.

▪ Private employers with 25 or more workers must use E-Verify, a federal website
that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of employees to work in the
U.S. Beginning in July 2024, employers who do not comply with the E-Verify
system can be penalized.

▪ Beginning in 2028, the law will not allow unauthorized immigrants to be
admitted to the Florida Bar.
