ASSEMBLY LABOR COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY, No. 2003

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: MAY 20, 1996

      The Assembly Labor Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No.2003.

      This bill requires that every public contract to perform work, or furnish goods or services to the State, a State college, a county college, a local government or a school district or other public body, include a provision that the contract may be terminated by the public body if the employer does not comply with the sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act that prohibit the unlawful employment of aliens and federal sanctions are imposed on the employer. If sanctions are imposed against the employer for noncompliance in connection with the contract, the bill requires that the contract be terminated immediately, unless the public body determines that an immediate termination would have a significant adverse impact on the public body, in which case the contract would be terminated at the earliest time possible without significant adverse impact occurring.
