E-Verify Requirement. a. Effective January 1, 2021, a contractor or consultant entering into a contract with a public entity (such as the COUNTY) is required to be registered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system and to utilize it to verify the work authorization status of all newly hired employees throughout the term of the contract. The contractor or consultant shall also be required to obtain and retain affidavits from all subcontractors or subconsultants utilized during the contract verifying that they do not employ, contract with, or subcontract with any unauthorized aliens as that term is defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1342a(h)(3). The failure to comply with this requirement constitutes grounds for termination of the contract and for such other penalties as provided under section 448.095, Florida Statutes.
