Board for Contractors; applications for licensure.  Provides that as part of the application for licensure as a contractor, whether the application is for a Class A, B, or C license, each applicant shall submit a statement, on a form provided by the Board, certifying that the applicant (i) will not knowingly employ an undocumented worker or otherwise violate the Federal Immigration and Reform Act or § 40.1-11.1 of the Code of Virginia and (ii) will continue to verify the lawful employment status of all employees by means of a work-authorization program issued by the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services or any equivalent federal work authorization program approved or operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
