E-Verify - August 2006

Colorado House Bill 06-1343, effective August 7, 2006 (C.R.S. 8-17.5-101 et seq.), affects contractors who provide services to state agencies and political subdivisions of the state, broadly defined to include most state and local governments, districts, and other public entities. Pursuant to this statute, public contracts for services must include provisions which: (1) prohibit the contractor from knowingly employing or contracting with illegal aliens, or using subcontractors who do so; (2) require the contractor to participate in the federal "E-Verify Program" to verify that it does not employ illegal aliens; and (3) require the contractor to take specified actions if it learns that a subcontractor is employing illegal aliens. Violation of these provisions will constitute a breach of contract, allowing the public entity to terminate the contract and recover damages. The Secretary of State will maintain a list of all terminated contractors. The Department of Labor and Employment is authorized to investigate compliance, and its web site provides a complaint form for reporting violations.
E-Verify is a separate poster available for free download in our Specialty Poster section and is NOT included on the CO All-In-One poster. You must post an E-Verify Participation poster and a Right to Work notice. Both posters are required to be posted in English and Spanish.
