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 Article <br />2 of Chapter 65 of the General Statues.” (Article 2 of Chapter 65 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 subcontractors have not) complied with E-Verify. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 177AA06A-30B4-42FF-A85A-78B5A7C51DBE
