Contractors and their sub-contractors seeking to do business with state agencies must register for E-Verify or only employ workers with a valid South Carolina Driver’s license or an out-of-state driver’s license if the license requirements are as strict as South Carolina’s. The provision does not apply to contracts worth less than $15,000 for political subdivisions and $25,000 for other public employers (and employers may not divide work in order to avoid the applicability of the section. It also does not apply to contracts for the acquisition of an end product and contracts predominantly for professional or consultant services. Contractors must provide a written statement verifying compliance, though the public employer need not audit or independently verify compliance by the contractor. Are there requirements applicable to all private employers? All employers with more than 100 employees (and their contractors and subcontractors) must, by July 1, 2009, either use E-Verify and verify
