A 5837: Requires employers contracted for work on certain state-funded projects verify employment eligibility of employees

This bill requires employers working on state-funded construction projects (like roads or buildings) to verify every worker's legal right to work in the U.S. using the federal I-9 form and the official verification system. It directly affects contractors and subcontractors hired for state projects by mandating they confirm workers aren't unauthorized noncitizens before starting work. Employers must properly complete and retain I-9 forms, use the federal verification system, and receive confirmation of legal work status. Violations result in a formal warning for the first offense, or fines up to $25,000 or jail time for repeat violations, with the state withholding payment for the project if an unauthorized worker is hired.
