Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act. Provides that an employer enrolled in an Employment Eligibility Verification System, including the E-Verify program, shall not impose work authorization verification or re-verification requirements greater than those required by the Employment Eligibility Verification System. Provides that, if an employer receives notification from any federal agency or other outside third party not responsible for the enforcement of immigration law of a discrepancy as it relates to an employee's individual taxpayer identification number or other identifying documents, guarantees specified rights and protections to the employee. Makes changes in provisions concerning the administration and enforcement of the Act by the Department of Labor. Sets forth provisions concerning action for civil penalties brought by an interested party; private right of action; penalties; and review under the Administrative Review Law.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Defines "interested party" as an organization that monitors or is attentive to compliance with public or worker safety and privacy laws, wage and hour requirements, or other statutory requirements. Makes changes in provisions concerning restrictions on the use of Employment Eligibility Verification Systems. Makes other changes.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:
820 ILCS 55/25 new

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill, as amended by Senate Amendment No. 1, by making the following changes. Provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed to prohibit an employer from enrolling in any Electronic Employment Verification System, including the E-Verify program, whether voluntarily or as required or permitted by federal law (rather than as required or permitted by federal law). Provides that no penalties shall be imposed under the Act if the employer or prospective employer: (1) acts in good faith reliance on guidance issued by the Illinois Department of Labor or the federal Department of Homeland Security; or (2) makes a bona fide administrative error that does not affect an employee or prospective employee's employment or pay. Makes changes in provisions concerning restrictions on the use of Employment Eligibility Verification Systems and actions for civil penalties brought by an interested party.
