Rhode Island has no statewide statutory mandate requiring private employers to use the federal E-Verify system, leaving participation voluntary except for certain state contractors under executive orders that have varied across administrations.
Rhode Island's General Assembly has not passed legislation under Title 28 or Title 37 mandating E-Verify enrollment for private employers, which distinguishes Rhode Island from neighboring states with employer mandates. Use of E-Verify by Rhode Island state agencies and contractors has fluctuated through executive orders, with Executive Order 08-01 once requiring state agencies and contractors to enroll, later rescinded and partially restored under subsequent administrations. Federal contractors operating in Rhode Island remain subject to the federal E-Verify rule for covered contracts under FAR 22.18. Private employers may voluntarily enroll, but no general state penalty exists for non-participation. Rhode Island employers must still complete federal Form I-9 employment eligibility verification under 8 USC 1324a.
Because there is no state E-Verify mandate, no Rhode Island statutory penalty applies; federal Form I-9 violations remain enforceable by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Justice.
