NC H1221

Modifies the definition of "employee" under G.S. 64-25(3) to exclude only temporary employees (those employed less than nine months per calendar year) in the agriculture, agribusiness, landscaping, and forestry sectors from E-Verify requirements.

Previously, all employees with terms of employment less than nine months were exempt from E-Verify verification; this change narrows the exemption to specific industries.

Appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Labor for the 2014-2015 fiscal year to develop training materials and programs for employer compliance with E-Verify requirements.

Becomes effective October 1, 2014.
