City of Santa Maria, California to Use E-Verify for New Hires

  • 1 minute read

The city council of Santa Maria, California approved a measure to use E-Verify when it hires new employees, reports the Santa Maria Times. The city will commence a six-month trial of the federal electronic employee verification system on May 8, 2010. It is uncertain, however, how often the city will use E-Verify because it is currently furloughing employees to save money.

Some officials and residents supported mandating E-Verify for private businesses as well. However, full council support was lacking, and many community organizers and residents spoke against the proposal.
