Keep the movement strong. Many communities including mine, here in Henry County, are behind those who strive to protect our rights as LEGAL residents of this state. I look forward to reading of the success of this bill.
As amended, this bill requires public bodies to include in all public contracts provisions that require contractors to state that they will not violate federal, state or local laws or hire an unlawful alien.
