The proposed bill establishes new regulations for nonresidential construction contractors, subcontractors, and labor brokers in Ohio, requiring the use of the E-Verify system to confirm the employment eligibility of their employees. It introduces definitions relevant to the construction industry, such as "alien," "employee," "labor broker," and "nonresidential construction project." Employers are mandated to verify the legal working status of each employee hired for nonresidential construction projects and maintain records of this verification. The bill also prohibits the continued employment of individuals after receiving a notice of final nonconfirmation from the E-Verify program.

To enforce these regulations, the bill empowers the Attorney General to investigate complaints and impose penalties for noncompliance, including fines for various infractions and escalating penalties for repeat offenders. It outlines the process for civil actions against noncompliant contractors and includes provisions for revoking licenses of those who knowingly employ unauthorized aliens. Additionally, the bill mandates that if a contractor or broker lacks a specific license for the business location where an unauthorized alien worked, all licenses held by that entity at their primary place of business must be revoked. The Attorney General is also tasked with conducting periodic reviews of state agencies to ensure compliance with contract provisions, imposing fines for non-compliance. Overall, the legislation aims to strengthen enforcement against the employment of unauthorized workers in the construction industry.
