Are you saying an employer is required to verify a prior employee's employment history to a later potential employer? I mean, I can understand most employers do this as a matter of simple courtesy, but I was not aware it was mandated by law.

I am also shocked to hear that it is mandated by law.
I believe you have this incorrect. Unless requested by a federal agency, an employer is under no obligation to report any information about current or former employees. In fact, there is certain information you're not allowed to give out to a third party.
However, Federal law
does require an employer to obtain verification that a prospective employee has the legal right to work in the United States. This can mean requiring the prospective employee to provide identification documents sufficient to prove this. The I-9 form a prospective employee has to fill out explains what is required. This is the usual verification an employer is required to obtain.
Now, if you have some evidence that shows I am wrong, please let me know, as I was unaware of any such requirement for an employer to provide another employer with information about a former employee, and I would be interested in discovering this.
