NC House bill aims to make more small businesses use E-Verify to check new workers' immigration status
A group of state House Republicans, including one from Forsyth County, is attempting again to make the federal E-Verify employment tracking tool a requirement for more small businesses.
The electronic tool checks the immigration status of new workers.
House Bill 35, co-sponsored by Rep. Debra Conrad, R-Forsyth, would lower the mandatory E-Verify requirement threshold from 25 employees — where it has been since July 2013 — to five.
Conrad could not be reached for comment in the bill.
An exemption would remain for state agencies, counties, cities and other government bodies.
