SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Document verification for employment of illegal immigrants; penalty.  Makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to falsely represent that an alien worker has documentation indicating that he is legally eligible for employment. The measure amends the existing prohibition on employing such aliens to provide that it is unlawful to continue employing such person who cannot provide the required documentation of eligibility. Each day of continued unlawful employment of each alien constitutes a separate civil offense punishable by a $250 civil penalty. The Department of Labor and Industry is charged with investigating and enforcing these provisions. Payments to satisfy a civil penalty shall be paid into a special fund and used by the Department in carrying out its duties under this section.
