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