Sec. 500.71  Utilization of only registered farm labor contractors.

    The Act prohibits any person from utilizing the services of a farm 
labor contractor to supply migrant or seasonal agricultural workers 
without first taking reasonable steps to determine that the farm labor 
contractor possesses a valid Certificate of Registration, issued 
pursuant to the Act, which authorizes the activity for which the 
contractor is to be utilized. This prohibition also applies to a farm 
labor contractor who wishes to utilize the services of another farm 
labor contractor (see Sec. 500.41). In making the determination about a 
contractor's registration status, a person may rely upon the 
contractor's possession of a Certificate of Registration which on its 
face is valid and which authorizes the activity for which the contractor 
is utilized. A person has the alternative to confirm the contractor's 
registration through the central registry maintained by the United 
States Department of Labor.
