Since the last edition of this book 61/2 years ago, worksite enforcement has surged at both federal and state levels. By 2024, 26 states have enacted employer sanctions laws, with nine mandating E-Verify for all eligible employers and 12 requiring it for contractors engaged in state or local government projects. Other states have implemented immigration laws pertaining to employers, some without E-Verify requirements. Companies now face severe penalties, such as license revocation and contract denial, if found hiring unauthorized workers. The enforcement of employer sanctions and anti-discrimination regulations under the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) falls under the jurisdiction of two agencies: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Immigrant and Employee Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for employers. However, navigating these laws has become increasingly intricate for today's employers, with further complexity anticipated. The I-9 and E-Verify Handbook aims to streamline this convoluted process, aiding human resource professionals, immigration advisors, and others in guiding employers through these challenging immigration regulations. The authors, Bruce E. Buchanan and Greg Siskind, discuss the array of statutes and regulations in an easy-to-understand, question-and-answer format with straightforward illustrations, flowcharts, checklists, and sample documents designed to help implement and improve an employer's immigration compliance program.

The Department of Licensing has worked to keep the notary public application process as simple as possible. A prospective notary need only submit a complete application, proof of a $10,000 surety bond, and appropriate fees to the Department of Licensing in order to begin the process. Once an applicant has completed all application requirements and proven that he or she is eligible, the Department will have a new certificate of commission mailed out promptly. New in 2018, notaries public can also apply for an electronic records notary public endorsement, which allows the notary to perform notarial acts on electronic documents as well as paper documents. The application process is similar to the application process for the commission, and can be done at the same time or separately.

Designed to help human resource managers and immigration lawyers navigate complicated immigration laws and requirements, this handbook demystifies an array of statutes and regulations in a simple and straightforward question-and-answer format that includes flowcharts, illustrations, checklists, and sample documents. Complex state and federal laws—such as the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986—are discussed in detail with information on new procedures and requirements, including the Social Security Administration’s no-match rule and the Department of Homeland Security’s e-verify system.

"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
