Prohibits employment of illegal aliens and requires use of E-Verify program in public contracts.

This bill (A 2959) prohibits New Jersey state agencies and political subdivisions from entering into or renewing public service contracts with contractors who knowingly employ or contract with individuals without legal work authorization in the U.S. It directly affects contractors working on state or local government service contracts. Key provisions require contractors to verify all workers' eligibility using the federal E-Verify program and to certify subcontractors comply with the same rule. Contractors violating the law face contract termination, and a public list of violators is maintained by the Department of Labor. The law applies to all public contracts for services, not physical goods or projects.
