California Labor Code section 2814 prohibits state and local governments from requiring private employers to use the federal E-Verify system except where federal law mandates it, so Stockton private employers generally use E-Verify only voluntarily.
California Labor Code section 2814 bars cities, counties, and the state from mandating E-Verify use by private employers unless federal law requires it. Federal contractors and subcontractors above certain thresholds must use E-Verify under the federal acquisition regulation. Most private Stockton employers can choose whether to enroll. Federal Form I-9 verification of work authorization is required for every new hire under the Immigration Reform and Control Act, regardless of E-Verify enrollment. AB 450 also restricts employer cooperation with workplace ICE inspections, requiring notice to employees and prohibiting voluntary consent to non-public area searches without a judicial warrant.
Mandating E-Verify in violation of Labor Code 2814, allowing ICE non-public access without warrants, or skipping employee notice under AB 450 triggers Labor Commissioner penalties.
