The certification requires vendors to provide an EEV Company Identification Number and certify the accuracy of submitted information. By signing, the vendor acknowledges potential consequences for non-compliance, including cancellation of state or public contracts, loss of licenses or permits, and potential felony prosecution. The document includes legal provisions for penalties ranging from fines of $1,000 to $10,000 for knowingly or recklessly accepting unauthorized employment, with specific references to U.S. Code sections related to immigration and employment verification. The form must be completed by an authorized officer or agent and notarized, serving as a mandatory compliance document for contractors working with Mississippi state agencies.
