Among various other requirements, the bill prohibits employers from reverifying a current employee's employment authorization at a time not required by federal immigration law.
Penalties for noncompliance range from $2,000 to $10,000 per violation.
As a result of this new law, employers in California would be well-advised to ensure that reverification of any I-9's as the result of a self-audit or any other reasons is consistent with federal law.
