The Non-Collusion Affidavit is provided herein. <br /> B. E-VERIFY AFFIDAVIT <br /> HB786 imposes E-Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain contracts with state <br /> agencies and local governments. The legislation specifically prohibits governmental units from <br /> entering into certain contracts"unless the contractor and the contractor's subcontractors comply <br /> with the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 64 of the General Statutes." (Article 2 of Chapter <br /> 64 establishes North Carolina's E-Verify requirements for private employers). It is important to <br /> note that the verification requirement applies to subcontractors as well as contractors. The new <br /> laws specifically prohibit governmental units from entering into contracts with contractors who <br /> have not (or their subs have not) complied with E-Verify requirements.
