E-Verify <br /> <br />HB786 imposes E-Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain contracts with state agencies <br />and local governments. The legislation specifically prohibits governmental units from entering into certain <br />contracts “unless the contractor and the contractor’s subcontractors comply with the requirements of <br />Article 2 of Chapter 64 of the General Statutes.” (Article 2 of Chapter 64 establishes North Carolina’s E-Verify <br />requirements for private employers). It is important to note that the verification requirement applies to <br />subcontractors as well as contractors. The new laws specifically prohibit governmental units from entering <br />into contracts with contractors who have not (or their subs have not) complied with E-Verify requirements. <br />Complete the attached affidavit, and include it with your submittal. <br /> <br />G.
