Ga. House votes crackdown on illegal workers
Billboards legislation squeezes through Ga. House
Atlanta Business Chronicle - by Dave Williams, Staff Writer
Date: Thursday, March 3, 2011, 3:42pm EST
All but the smallest businesses in Georgia would have to keep illegal immigrants off of their payrolls under Republican-backed legislation that passed the state House of Representatives Thursday.
The bill, which passed 113-56 virtually along party lines, would require companies with five or more employees to enroll in a Web-based federal verification system to check on the immigration status of new hires.
The General Assembly enacted an E-Verify enrollment mandate in 2006. But that law only applies to businesses seeking government contracts.

Thank you jamesw62 for keeping the information current and accessible for us. I get lost at times searching for things and trying to keep up with everything.
Hebrews 11:1, it is written, "For faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
