This resolution establishes a county policy that Oakland County will r egister with, participate in, and utilize the E-Verify Program (or any successor program implemented by the federal Department of Homeland Security and/or the federal Social Security Administration) when hiring new employees after February 1, 2010 to verify the authorization status of newly hired employees.
