Nebraska LB879 proposes the Guest Worker Permit Act, allowing undocumented individuals to obtain permits for employment in Nebraska.

Nebraska LB879, the Guest Worker Permit Act, establishes a permit system for undocumented individuals to legally work in Nebraska. The act requires these individuals to apply for guest worker permits before providing services under a contract for hire. Permits are valid for two years and can be renewed. The Department of Labor handles applications, which must include relevant contact information, documentation of employment, and a fee. The act also mandates health insurance coverage and prohibits permit use for certain purposes.
