4            (1) A first violation by an employer at a business
5        location if the violation did not occur during a
6        probationary period ordered by the court under this
7        subsection for that employer's business location.
8            (2) A second violation by an employer at a business
9        location if the violation occurred during a
10        probationary period ordered by the court under this
11        subsection for that employer's business location.
12    (g) The Department of Labor shall maintain copies of court
13orders that are received pursuant to subsection (f) of this
14Section and shall maintain a database of the employers and
15business locations that have a first violation of subsection
16(a) of this Section and make the court orders available on the
17Department's website.
18    (h) On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized
19alien, the court shall consider only the federal government's
20determination pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1373(c). The federal
21government's determination creates a rebuttable presumption of
22the employee's lawful status. The court may take judicial
23notice of the federal government's determination and may
24request the federal government to provide automated or
25testimonial verification pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1373(c).
26    (i) For the purposes of this Section, proof of verifying

 

 

HB1969- 19 -LRB097 09009 HEP 49143 b

1the employment authorization of an employee through the
2E-Verify program creates a rebuttable presumption that an
3employer did not knowingly or intentionally employ an
4unauthorized alien.
5    (j) For the purposes of this Section, an employer that
6establishes that it has complied in good faith with the
7requirements of 8 U.S.C. 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative
8defense that the employer did not knowingly or intentionally
9employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have
10complied with the requirements of 8 U.S.C. 1324a(b),
11notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic, or accidental technical
12or procedural failure to meet the requirements, if there is a
13good faith attempt to comply with the requirements.
14    (k) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of
15subsection (a) of this Section that the employer was entrapped.
16To claim entrapment, the employer must admit by the employer's
17testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the
18violation. An employer who asserts an entrapment defense has
19the burden of proving the following by a preponderance of the
20evidence:
21        (i) The idea of committing the violation started with
22    law enforcement officers or their agents rather than with
23    the employer.
24        (ii) The law enforcement officers or their agents urged
25    and induced the employer to commit the violation.
26        (iii) The employer was not predisposed to commit the

 

 

HB1969- 20 -LRB097 09009 HEP 49143 b

1    violation before the law enforcement officers or their
2    agents urged and induced the employer to commit the
3    violation.
4    (l) An employer does not establish entrapment if the
5employer was predisposed to violate subsection (a) of this
6Section and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely
7provided the employer with an opportunity to commit the
8violation. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or
9their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity.
10The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be
11considered in determining if an employer has proven entrapment.
 
12    Section 35. Employer actions; federal or State law
13compliance. This Act shall not be construed to require an
14employer to take any action that the employer believes in good
15faith would violate federal or State law.
 
16    Section 40. Voluntary employer enhanced compliance
17program.
18    (a) The Department of Labor shall establish the voluntary
19employer enhanced compliance program. The program is voluntary
20and an employer is not required to enroll in the program.
21    (b) An employer that is on probation under Section 30 or 35
22of this Act may not enroll in the voluntary employer enhanced
23compliance program. A court shall not consider non-enrollment
24in the voluntary employer enhanced compliance program as a

 

 

HB1969- 21 -LRB097 09009 HEP 49143 b

1factor when determining whether to suspend or revoke a license
2under Section 30 or 35 of this Act.
3    (c) To enroll in the voluntary employer enhanced compliance
4program, an employer shall submit a signed sworn affidavit to
5the Department. The affidavit shall state that the employer
6agrees to perform all of the following actions in good faith:
7        (i) After hiring an employee, the employer shall verify
8    the employment eligibility of the employee through the
9    E-Verify program.
10        (ii) To ensure the accuracy of reporting wages to the
11    Social Security Administration, the employer shall verify
12    the accuracy of social security numbers through the social
13    security number verification service for any employee who
14    is not verified through the E-Verify program. Within 30
15    days after enrolling in the voluntary employer enhanced
16    compliance program, the employer shall submit the
17    necessary information to the social security number
18    verification service, including the full name, the social
19    security number, the date of birth, and the gender of each
20    employee. On receipt of a failed verification result, the
21    employer shall notify the employee of the date on which the
22    employer received the failed result and instruct the
23    employee to resolve the discrepancy with the Social
24    Security Administration within 90 days after that date. The
25    employer and employee shall resolve any failed result
26    within 90 days after the date on which the employer

 

 

HB1969- 22 -LRB097 09009 HEP 49143 b

1    received the failed result. If the failed result is not
2    resolved within the 90-day period but the employer and
3    employee are continuing to actively and consistently work
4    toward resolving the failed result with the Social Security
5    Administration, the 90-day period does not apply as long as
6    the employer and employee have documented proof of these
7    ongoing efforts to resolve the failed result in good faith
8    and have provided the documented proof to the Department.
9    The employer shall verify the accuracy of the social
10    security numbers and resolve any failed verification
11    results in a consistent manner for all employees.
12        (iii) In response to a written request by the
13    Department or State's Attorney stating the name of an
14    employee for whom a complaint has been received under
15    Section 30 or 35 of this Act, the employer shall provide
16    the Department or State's Attorney the documents
17    indicating that the employee was verified through the
18    E-Verify program or that the accuracy of the employee's
19    wage report was verified through the social security number
20    verification service under this Section.
21    (d) An employer that is enrolled in the voluntary employer
22enhanced compliance program shall not be in violation of
23subsection (a) of Section 30 of this Act or subsection (a) of
24Section 35 of this Act regarding an employee named in a
25complaint under Section 30 or 35 of this Act if the employer
26has completed both of the following:

 

 

HB1969- 23 -LRB097 09009 HEP 49143 b

1        (i) In good faith verified the employment eligibility
2    of the employee named in the complaint through the E-Verify
3    program or in good faith verified the accuracy of the
4    social security number of the employee named in the
5    complaint through the social security number verification
6    system as required by paragraphs (i) and (ii) of subsection
7    (c) of this Section.
8        (ii) Provided the Department or State's Attorney with
9    the documents, as required by paragraph (iii) of subsection
10    (c) of this Section, indicating that the employer verified
11    the employee named in the complaint.
12    (e) The Department shall maintain a list of employers
13enrolled in the voluntary employer enhanced compliance program
14and make the list available on the Department's website.
15    (f) The Department shall develop a form of recognition that
16an employer may display to the general public for enrolling in
17the voluntary employer enhanced compliance program.
18    (g) If an employer does not fully comply with this Section,
19the Department shall terminate the employer's enrollment in the
20voluntary employer enhanced compliance program. At any time, an
21employer may voluntarily withdraw from the voluntary employer
22enhanced compliance program by notifying the Department.
23Beginning on the date of termination or withdrawal, subsection
24(d) of this Section no longer applies to the employer and the
25employer shall immediately remove any form of recognition from
26public display that is authorized under this Section.
