Requires certain contractors to verify work authorization of newly hired employees.

This bill requires contractors who must pay the New Jersey prevailing wage (under the Prevailing Wage Act) to verify new employees' work authorization using the federal E-Verify program after June 30, 2025. It mandates random state audits by the Department of Labor and allows penalties of $500-$1,000 per violation, with a 72-hour correction window for first offenses to avoid fines. Contractors found violating the rule may face license suspension or denial of renewal under public works registration rules. The law directly affects public works contractors and aims to ensure compliance with federal work authorization verification.
