(COLUMBIA, S.C.) -- Small businesses across South Carolina are about to undergo big changes in their hiring processes.

The Post and Courier reports that effective Jan. 1, every employer in South Carolina will be required to use an online database network overseen by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security called E-Verify to determine the immigration status of newly hired employees.

The state’s Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation will be checking up on businesses to ensure they are complying with the new requirement that is part of a state immigration law that was approved in July.

Businesses that do not comply with the requirement run the risk of losing their operating licenses.
