First reading: referred to Committee on Employment, Labor and Pensions
Summary
The bill would make it mandatory for any contractor on a state‑funded construction project to enroll in the federal E‑Verify system and verify the work eligibility of all new hires. Contractors must also sign a notarized affidavit stating they do not knowingly employ unauthorized aliens, and they are barred from using workers without an E‑Verify number unless the worker later provides one. The measure includes limited civil immunity for contractors who, in good faith, rely on E‑Verify data that later proves inaccurate.
