Sections of Georgia’s new immigration law blocked but not the required use of E-Verify
Giselle Carson Jun 29, 2011 in Immigration News
A federal judge blocked sections of Georgia’s HB 87, a law targeting illegal immigration, including a provision that authorized police to check the immigration status of suspects without proper identification and to detain illegal immigrants. However, most of the bill remains intact including a requirement that employers with 10 or more employees check the employment eligibility of new hires using E-Verify. This requirement will be implemented in stages starting January 1, 2012. Employers should try to remain informed of the requirements of the growing number of immigration related state laws.
