N.C. E-Verify Mandate Becomes Law Over Governor's Veto

Though exempting employees who work for fewer than nine months, North Carolina law now mandates that state, city and county governments all require all contractors and subcontractors to use the federal E-Verify system for employment eligibility verification.

Gov. Pat McCrory originally vetoed the legislation, but the North Carolina House and Senate both voted to override the veto, and the law became effective Sept. 4, 2013.
