Summary

Amends the Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act. Provides that until such time as any Employment Verification System is able to automatically verify the work authorization status of 99% of employees, the Illinois Department of Labor shall post on its website a link to a federal government website that provides an employer information about the federal e-verify program (rather than discouraging employers from participating in such program and prohibiting the State of Illinois from participating in the program, unless otherwise required by federal law). Eliminates the preemption provisions. Provides that the court shall award an employee or applicant for employment prevailing in an action under the Act for a willful and knowing violation of the Act, $500 per affected employee plus costs, reasonable attorney's fees, and actual damages. Provides that the provisions of the Act are severable. Effective immediately.
