Synopsis: Public contract for services. Requires that a public contract
for services between a state agency or political subdivision and a
contractor must contain certain requirements concerning the use of the
federal electronic employment eligibility verification system (E-Verify)
and knowing employment of unauthorized aliens only if one of the
following applies: (1) The estimated amount to be paid in a calendar
year to the contractor under the contract is more than $50,000. (2) The
estimated amount to be paid in a calendar year to the contractor under
the contract is $50,000 or less, but the contract in combination with
other public contracts for services entered into by the contractor with
the same state agency or political subdivision results in an estimated
total payment in a calendar year by the state agency or political
subdivision to the contractor of more than $50,000. (Current law
requires that all public contracts for services between a state agency or
political subdivision and a contractor contain certain requirements
concerning the use of E-Verify and knowing employment of
unauthorized aliens.)
