OH SB183

Nonresidential construction contractors, subcontractors, and labor brokers must use E-Verify to confirm employment eligibility for all employees working on nonresidential construction projects, and must maintain verification records for three years after hire or one year after termination

Employers must terminate employees who receive a final nonconfirmation from E-Verify indicating their employment eligibility could not be confirmed

First-time violations carry fines of $250 per violation for failing to use E-Verify and $5,000 per violation for continuing to employ unauthorized workers; repeat violations within three years increase to $1,000/$10,000, then $1,500/$25,000

Court-adjudicated violations result in a two-year ban from bidding on state contracts, plus an additional $1,000 fine per violation; knowingly employing unauthorized aliens triggers permanent license revocation

State agencies and political subdivisions must include E-Verify compliance requirements in nonresidential construction contracts or face $5,000 fines per failure; an E-Verify enforcement fund is created to fund administration
