Supreme Court upholds Arizona E-Verify law

At the end of May, the Supreme Court rendered its decision in the case challenging the Arizona requirement that employers use the federal E-Verify program as a condition of obtaining/maintaining a business license, said Craig Regelbrugge, VP of government relations at ANLA.

 

The Supreme Court has upheld the 9th Circuit’s finding that the Arizona law is not preempted by federal law.

 

Because U.S. lawmakers aren’t anxious to have a patchwork of laws across the country, they could act quickly to enact E-Verify laws across the board, he told publisher Todd Davis.
