Back from short break …
Lots of E-Verifyish news here. Missouri and Rhode Island have both passed laws requiring the use of E-Verify for a majority of employers. Suffolk County, N.Y. passed its own employer-sanctions law. Washington County, Utah officials are discussing doing the same.
Setting aside the emotional pro/con arguments, the trend we’ve noticed continues: more and more jurisdictions are passing laws that are dependent on E-Verify.
Which makes it all the more interesting that E-Verify needs to be reauthorized in November. That debate’s going to be bloody, where everyone invokes “the will of the people.”
