PA House Labor and Industry Committee Votes in Support of E-Verify Legislation

 
House Labor and Industry Committee Votes in Support of E-Verify LegislationAs a member of the House Labor and Industry Committee, I voted this week to send to the full House a bill requiring construction industry employers to participate in the federal E-Verify Program (EVP) and federal Social Security Number Verification Service (NVS). House Bill 380 would require employers to verify through NVS the Social Security numbers of current employees, and, within three days of the first day of employment, use EVP to determine the eligibility of new hires. The bill states that a first violation would be considered a warning; however, if an employer is found to knowingly hire an individual not verified through the programs, the secretary of labor and industry can forfeit all licenses or certifications for up to 90 days for a second violation and for up to three years for a subsequent violation. House Bill 380 now goes before the full House for consideration.
