The Employee Privacy Act amends the labor law to prohibit employers from using the federal electronic employment verification system to check the employment authorization status of an existing employee or an applicant who has not been offered employment. It also prohibits municipalities from requiring employers to use the federal electronic employment verification system. Employers who violate these provisions face civil penalties. The act aims to prevent discrimination in employment rather than to sanction the potential hiring and employment of unauthorized individuals.
