Charges
• Study whether Texas businesses are able to circumvent state and federal immigration law by hiring employees through temporary employment agencies rather than hiring employees directly. Explore whether businesses that enter into contracts with a state agency should participate in the E-verify program as part of the awards process of a state contract. Make recommendations on how to best guarantee the integrity of our state's workforce.

Note:
Appointed by Lieutenant Governor 10/23/2017 (Press release, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick).
