Kentucky has no statute requiring E-Verify, not for private employers and not for state contractors. Only the federal I-9 process applies to all Kentucky employers, and federal contractors may face E-Verify clauses under federal law.
Kentucky has not enacted any E-Verify mandate. No KRS provision conditions state contracts, grants, or economic-development incentives on E-Verify enrollment, and there is no private-sector requirement. Every Kentucky employer must still complete the federal Form I-9 for each hire, and businesses holding federal contracts with an E-Verify clause must use the system under federal rules. Bills to impose a state E-Verify requirement have been filed but not enacted. Because Kentucky has no such mandate, there is likewise no statewide statute preempting local E-Verify ordinances.
No state E-Verify penalty exists, because Kentucky has no E-Verify statute. Federal I-9 violations are enforced by federal immigration authorities, and federal-contract E-Verify breaches are handled under the federal contract.
