Introduced
by
To prohibit a vendor from bidding on state contracts if it has hired illegal aliens and failed to comply with federal verification requirements; or if the vendor has violated the state “prevailing wage” law, which prohibits awarding contracts to contractors who submit the lowest bid unless the contractor pays so-called "prevailing wages" based on union pay scales in a particular part of a geographic region, rather than market rates. Violators could be prohibited from receiving further payments under a state contract, or required to return payments already received.
