  1. Source: Based on http://www.troutmansanders.com/immigration/. Government contractors means businesses with state contracts (and their subcontractors in most states; conditional on contract size in some states). Only laws that require the use of E-Verify and do not offer another option, such as certifying or affirming employment eligibility, are listed here. Policies that apply to only government employees or contractors are not listed here except as noted
