Executive Order No. 41 requires executive agencies within Tennessee’s government to spot check the personnel records of state contractors and subcontractors and issue fines to businesses that employ illegal labor

“Gov. Phil Bredesen on Tuesday issued an Executive Order “to help ensure that all businesses entering into contracts with state government fully comply with prohibitions against employing illegal immigrants.”

Gov. Bredesen said, “It is clear the lure of employment is a primary factor that attracts illegal immigrants to our country and to our state. State law prohibits individuals and businesses in Tennessee from knowingly employing individuals who have illegally entered the United States. That’s why I signed today’s Executive Order, which outlines specific steps to ensure that those who do business with the state do not knowingly hire illegal immigrants.””
