My girlfriends last job are dragging their heels on producing a resume which in turn is holding up her starting her new job.
If they fail to produce it what can be done.?
Is it illegal to put negative stuff on a resume?
What if they put false stuff?

In all cases you write your own resume.
Generally then you would supply some references, although in more professional circles all you would supply would be the name and address of your last employer with perhaps a contact number.
In the case of references many firms dont like to give written references to their employees. I expect this is because they are so open to tampering etc and the firm would not want to be misrepresented. Hence I am not at all suprised that your girl has to wait, she may wait a long time.
It is probably not worth worrying about what a previous employer will say. Unless they are particulary unprofessional most people realise that people move on for various reasons.
It would have to be a particularly vindictive employer who would say anything likely to prevent one from being employed elsewhere.
If your girlfriend is truthful she has nothing to fear.

As another poster wrote you are obviously referring to a reference and they are not legally bound to give a written reference. There is no such law. Additionally, there are no laws as well that state an employer must give a good recommendation. Is this a smart thing to do? Absolutely not. Especially if the former employee has cause to believe they were wrongfully terminated and per the advisement of an attorney they too find they were wrongfully terminated -- then a bad recommendation can be viewed as a retaliatory act.

Reading the support comments you have written you are refering to a REFERENCE - a resume is another name for a CV.
All a company has to put in a REFERENCE is confirming the title of the job your girlfriend had and the dates she worked there.

They should only have to verify how long she was there and her postion and duties. They are not obligated to produce a resume.

She needs to write her own resume.
