E-VERIFY MANDATE BLOCKED IN PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
From the News Tribune:
Pierce County Executive Pat McCarthy has vetoed a County Council ordinance that required private companies that do business with the county to ensure their employees can legally work in the United States.
McCarthy told the council Tuesday she does not oppose the program. But she wants changes that she says will ensure it works well.
The council’s plan requires companies with county contracts to enroll in and use the federal E-Verify program, which checks an employee’s identity against several federal databases. It also requires the county to use the E-Verify program to check the status of its own workers.
