House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.

Changes the long title.

Enacts GS 143-133.3, E-verify compliance, prohibiting any board or governing body of the state, state institution, or any political subdivision of the state from entering a contract unless the contractor/subcontractors comply with the E-verify requirements. Provides that compliance is met by including a requirement in contracts that the contractor/subcontractors are required to comply with E-verify. Provides that such requirements do not apply to contracts for transportation, lodging, solely for the purchase of goods, and specified contracts under GS 143-129(e)(9) or (9a).

Deletes proposed changes to GS 160A-20.1(b) and 153A-449(b), which prohibited a city/county from entering into a contract unless the contractor and subcontractors comply with specified requirements, and repeals each provision instead. 

Amends GS 159-28(e), concerning penalties under the Local Government Finance Act, adding language that provides that inclusion of a contract term requiring compliance with E-verify requirements is deemed compliance with the requirement in GS 143-133.3(a). 

Makes technical and conforming changes to GS 64-27, 64-28, 64-29, 64-30 and to proposed 64-33.1, reflecting the repeals made above and the enactment of GS 143-133.3.

Adds clarifying language to the effective date provision, providing act is effective October 1, 2015, applying to contracts entered into on or after that date.
