Bill Summary

For legislation to debar employers who violate federal immigration laws from contracting with the Commonwealth. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that employers who violate federal immigration laws will be prohibited, or "debarred," from entering into contracts with the Commonwealth Government, which refers to the state government of Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends Chapter 29, Section 29F(c) of the General Laws by changing the word "may" to "shall" in relation to debarment, meaning it will be a requirement rather than an option. It also removes language that previously stated debarment would only be imposed when required by law, thereby strengthening the enforcement of debarment for immigration law violations.
