This document is an EEV (Employment Eligibility Verification) Certification and Agreement form issued by the Mississippi Transportation Commission, involving compliance with the Mississippi Employment Protection Act. The form requires vendors to verify their participation in the federal work authorization program (E-Verify) operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and to electronically confirm information about newly hired employees pursuant to the Immigration Reform and Control Act. Vendors must agree to inform the Mississippi Transportation Commission if they are no longer registered or participating in the program, and must secure similar verification from any subcontractors involved in the contract.

The certification includes significant legal provisions, with vendors acknowledging potential consequences for non-compliance, including cancellation of public contracts, loss of business licenses, and potential criminal prosecution. The document requires vendors to provide an EEV Company Identification Number and includes provisions for potential penalties such as fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 and potential additional prosecutorial actions. The form must be signed by an authorized officer or agent, notarized, and includes a footnote specifying that the applicable federal work authorization program is E-Verify, operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in conjunction with the Social Security Administration.
