HB 197 -- Publicly Financed Projects

Sponsor:  Wildberger

This bill prohibits a person from employing or subcontracting
with an illegal alien on any publicly financed project.  Any
person in violation, in addition to any other penalty, will be
fined $10 per illegal individual per day and will not be eligible
to bid on any publicly financed project for 10 years after the
violation.

Current law requires that in a period of excessive unemployment
any person constructing or building a public works project must
employ only Missouri laborers or laborers from nonrestrictive
states.  Any person in violation will forfeit to the contracting
political subdivision $10 per nonqualifying laborer per day.  The
political subdivision awarding the public works project is
authorized to withhold any amounts due as a result of the
violation.
