Bill > S1101

This bill aims to regulate the documentation of contracted workers in Massachusetts. It requires all public employers, contractors, and subcontractors to register and participate in the federal work authorization program to verify the employment eligibility of all new hires. Contractors or subcontractors who fail to verify new employee information through this program and are found to have hired undocumented workers will be subject to a fine of at least $5,000. The bill also outlines a phased implementation approach, with larger employers required to comply earlier. The Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development and the Department of Transportation will be responsible for enforcing and administering the provisions of this bill.
