HB 2418 -- Employer Participation in a Federal Work Authorization
Program

Sponsor:  Nolte

This bill exempts a business entity which contracts with the
state from the provision requiring participation in a federal
work authorization program if the business entity was awarded a
contract for $50,000 or less for supplies or materials used in
connection with an emergency.  The term "emergency" is expanded
to include situations that threaten life, personal safety,
property, the environment, or vital public services or resources
and certain natural or manmade disasters including fires,
chemical or biological hazards or spills, power outages, and
other major mechanical failures of public infrastructure.

Subcontractors, including subcontractors of business entities
awarded state contracts or grants for more than $5,000, are not
required to enroll and participate in a federal work
authorization program if the contract binding the subcontractor
affirmatively states that the subcontractor is not knowingly in
violation of the prohibition on hiring illegal aliens and the
subcontractor provides a sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury
attesting to the fact that the subcontractor's employees are
lawfully present in the United States.
