Employer Sanctions: Comments on H.R. 3362--Employer Sanctions Improvement
Act (Testimony, 09/21/94, GAO/T-GGD-94-189).

H.R. 3362, the proposed "Employer Sanctions Improvement Act of 1993,"
would (1) promote the enforcement of employer sanctions by encouraging
states and individuals to participate in enforcement programs and (2)
improve the employment verification system by reducing the number of
documents that persons use to establish work eligibility and
identification. GAO agrees with the bill's intentions to enhance
enforcement of employer sanctions and to reduce the number of documents
acceptable for identification and work authorization. However, GAO
believes that a proliferation of employer sanction laws and programs
across states may not be the best way to have the state pursue employer
sanctions enforcement. This testimony offers some other options.
