Requires certification that persons directly or indirectly receiving State monies or privileges are not unauthorized aliens.
This bill requires individuals and employers to certify that they or their employees have legal U.S. status before receiving New Jersey state benefits like contracts, grants, tax breaks, or licenses. It mandates that applicants sign a form confirming compliance with federal immigration law, with penalties only for knowingly false statements. The New Jersey Department of Labor will provide this standard form to all state agencies, which must incorporate it into existing application processes rather than create new systems. The law directly affects anyone seeking state-funded benefits or licenses, ensuring they verify immigration eligibility as a condition of receiving aid.
