Relating to certain requirements for participation in the E-verify program; authorizing penalties.

Texas Senate Bill 2650 requires state contractors and subcontractors to verify employee work authorization through the federal E-Verify program to qualify for state contracts. State agencies cannot award contracts to entities that fail to register with E-Verify or stop participating during the contract term. Contracts must include a certification statement confirming compliance, and non-compliance results in contract termination. This bill directly affects businesses seeking state contracts by mandating E-Verify participation as a condition of doing business with Texas government.
