AI Summary

This bill requires all public employers, contractors, and subcontractors in Massachusetts to register and participate in the federal work authorization program (also known as E-Verify) to verify the employment eligibility of all new employees. The bill imposes fines of at least $5,000 on contractors or subcontractors that hire undocumented workers without verifying their information through E-Verify. The bill is being phased in, with larger employers subject to the requirements starting in July 2018 and all employers subject by July 2019. The Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Labor and Workforce Development is responsible for enforcing the new requirements and publishing the necessary rules and regulations, except for contracts related to public transportation, which will be handled by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
