Frederick County aims to stop contractors from hiring illegal immigrants for labor

author Published by Chris Chmielenski

Frederick County is taking steps to prevent contractors from hiring illegal immigrant workers.

On Dec. 15, Frederick County Commissioners will consider whether to adopt new purchasing regulations. Those regulations would include requiring major construction contractors to certify that they and their subcontractors are not knowingly employing illegal aliens.

In February, commissioners are also expected to review a proposal to require those contractors use the federal e-verify system, an Internet-based program designed to verify legal status of workers under federal contract.http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=98522By Meg Tully — Frederick (Md.)
