Bill > LD1893

This bill requires public employers and public contractors in Maine to use a federal immigration verification system, such as the E-Verify program, to determine the work eligibility status of new employees physically performing services in the state. It defines "public employer" as a state or local government agency and "public contractor" as a contractor and any subcontractor awarded a contract by a public employer for physical services in the state. The bill also mandates that contracts between public employers and public contractors include a provision requiring the use of a federal immigration verification system.
