RHODE ISLAND STATE SENATOR OPTIMISTIC THAT E- VERIFY MANDATE WILL PASS SOON
Rhode Island, which already mandates E-Verify use for public employers and state contractors, would expand E-Verify to all employers if legislation pending in the state Senate passes.
The Pawtucket Times reports on 08/18
Legislation that would require Rhode Island employers to use the federal E-Verify system to ensure that new hires are eligible to work in this country, thought to be dead after the state Senate recessed in June without voting it out of committee, might still have a chance to become law when the General Assembly reconvenes next month. Woonsocket Sen. Marc Cote, the sponsor of the Senate bill said he expects to meet next week with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Michael McCaffrey to work out a way to make the bill acceptable to Senate leaders. The bill passed the House in 2007 and 2008, only to die in the Senate, and passed again earlier this year.
