Public employees and officers: state; state contractors; require to verify legal residency of employees. Creates new act.

This bill requires public employers and contractors in Michigan to verify that all new employees are legally authorized to work in the United States. To comply, these entities must register for and use the federal E-Verify system to check the documentation provided by every new hire. The law also establishes penalties for violations, including a one-year ban on future public contracts for non-compliant employers and immediate termination of contracts for subcontractors found to have hired unauthorized workers. Additionally, the bill mandates that employers complete a standard Form I-9 for employees or a sworn affidavit for independent contractors before verifying their status through the system.
