The Arkansas Democrat Gazette reports that Arkansas state representative Bill Sample plans to introduce a bill requiring, in part, verification of Social Security numbers prior to the issuance of employee identification cards. Rep. Sample made the following comments about the bill:
It will establish proper guidelines for the issuance of identification cards and documents. ... We're trying to define who can give out identification cards and what those ID cards would state. We don't want those phony ID cards to go out. ... If you give them an ID card, you're responsible to do a little due diligence and make sure that person is in the state legally.
