1 | AN ACT concerning aliens.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Immigration Law Enforcement Act. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Section 5. Intent. The General Assembly finds that there is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | a compelling interest in the
cooperative enforcement of federal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | immigration laws throughout all of
Illinois. The General | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Assembly declares that the intent of this Act is to make
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | attrition through enforcement the public policy of all State | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | and local
government agencies in Illinois. The provisions of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | this Act are intended
to work together to discourage and deter | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | the unlawful entry and presence
of aliens and economic activity | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | by persons unlawfully present in the
United States. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Section 10. Cooperation and assistance in enforcement of
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | immigration laws; indemnification. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | (a) No official or agency of this State or a political | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | subdivision of this State may limit or restrict the
enforcement | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | permitted by federal law. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | (b) For any lawful stop, detention, or arrest made by a law
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | enforcement official or a law enforcement agency of this State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or a law
enforcement official or a law enforcement agency of a | ||||||
2 | political subdivision of this State in the enforcement of any
| ||||||
3 | other law of this State or ordinance of a county or | ||||||
4 | municipality where
reasonable suspicion exists that the person | ||||||
5 | is an alien and is
unlawfully present in the United States, a | ||||||
6 | reasonable attempt shall be
made, when practicable, to | ||||||
7 | determine the immigration status of the person,
except if the | ||||||
8 | determination may hinder or obstruct an investigation. Any
| ||||||
9 | person who is arrested shall have the person's immigration | ||||||
10 | status
determined before the person is released. The person's | ||||||
11 | immigration status
shall be verified with the federal | ||||||
12 | government pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1373(c). A law enforcement | ||||||
13 | official or agency of this State

14 | this State may
not consider race, color, or national origin in | ||||||

requirements of this subsection (b) except to | ||||||
16 | the extent permitted by the
United States or Illinois | ||||||

government issued identification. | ||||||
25 | (c) If an alien who is unlawfully present in the United | ||||||
26 | States is
convicted of a violation of State or local law, on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | discharge from
imprisonment or on the assessment of any | ||||||
2 | monetary obligation that is imposed, the United States | ||||||
3 | Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the
United States | ||||||
4 | Customs and Border Protection shall be immediately notified. | ||||||
5 | (d) Notwithstanding any other law, a law enforcement agency | ||||||
6 | may
securely transport an alien whom the agency has received | ||||||
7 | verification is
unlawfully present in the United States and who | ||||||
8 | is in the agency's custody
to a federal facility in this State | ||||||
9 | or to any other point of transfer into
federal custody that is | ||||||
10 | outside the jurisdiction of the law enforcement
agency. A law | ||||||
11 | enforcement agency shall obtain judicial authorization
before | ||||||
12 | securely transporting an alien who is unlawfully present in the

outweighs the benefit | ||||||
12 | to the State from the seizure, the vehicle may be
forfeited to | ||||||
13 | the spouse or family member and the title to the vehicle shall | ||||||
14 | be
transferred to the spouse or family member who is properly | ||||||
15 | licensed and who
requires the use of the vehicle for employment | ||||||
16 | or family transportation
purposes. A written declaration of | ||||||
17 | forfeiture of a vehicle under this
Section shall be sufficient | ||||||
18 | cause for the title to be transferred to the spouse
or family | ||||||
19 | member. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply only to | ||||||
20 | one
forfeiture per vehicle. If the vehicle is the subject of a | ||||||
21 | subsequent
forfeiture proceeding by virtue of a subsequent | ||||||
22 | conviction of either spouse or
the family member, the spouse or | ||||||
23 | family member to whom the vehicle was
forfeited under the first | ||||||
24 | forfeiture proceeding may not utilize the
provisions of this | ||||||
25 | paragraph in another forfeiture proceeding. If the owner of
the | ||||||
26 | vehicle seized owns more than one vehicle,
the procedure set |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | out in this paragraph may be used for only one vehicle.
| ||||||
2 | Property declared contraband under Section 40 of the | ||||||
3 | Illinois Streetgang
Terrorism Omnibus Prevention Act may be | ||||||
4 | seized and forfeited under this
Article.

| ||||||
7 | Section 120. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | ||||||
8 | amended by changing Section 107-2 as follows:
| ||||||
9 | (725 ILCS 5/107-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 107-2)
| ||||||
10 | Sec. 107-2. (1) Arrest by Peace Officer. A peace officer | ||||||
11 | may
arrest a person when:
| ||||||
12 | (a) He has a warrant commanding that such person be | ||||||
13 | arrested; or
| ||||||
14 | (b) He has reasonable grounds to believe that a warrant for | ||||||
15 | the person's
arrest has been issued in this State or in another | ||||||
16 | jurisdiction; or
| ||||||
17 | (c) He has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is | ||||||
18 | committing
or has committed an offense ; or . | ||||||
19 | (d) He or she has reasonable grounds to believe that the | ||||||
20 | person to be arrested has committed an offense that makes the | ||||||
21 | person removable from the United States.
| ||||||
22 | (2) Whenever a peace officer arrests a person, the officer | ||||||
23 | shall question
the arrestee as to whether he or she has any | ||||||
24 | children under the age of 18
living with him or her who may be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | neglected as a result of the arrest or
otherwise. The peace | ||||||
2 | officer shall assist the arrestee in the placement of
the | ||||||
3 | children with a relative or other responsible person designated | ||||||
4 | by the
arrestee. If the peace officer has reasonable cause to | ||||||
5 | believe that a child
may be a neglected child as defined in the | ||||||
6 | Abused and Neglected Child
Reporting Act, he shall report it | ||||||
7 | immediately to the Department of Children
and Family Services | ||||||
8 | as provided in that Act.
| ||||||
9 | (3) A peace officer who executes a warrant of arrest in | ||||||
10 | good faith
beyond the geographical limitation of the warrant | ||||||
11 | shall not be liable for
false arrest.
| ||||||
12 | (Source: P.A. 86-298.)
| ||||||
13 | Section 125. The Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act is | ||||||
14 | amended by changing Section 12 as follows: | ||||||
15 | (820 ILCS 55/12) | ||||||
16 | Sec. 12. Use of employment eligibility verification | ||||||
17 | systems; intentionally employing unauthorized aliens; | ||||||
18 | prohibition; false and frivolous complaints; violation; | ||||||
19 | affirmative defense Employment Eligibility Verification | ||||||
20 | Systems . | ||||||
21 | (a) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
22 | of the 96th General Assembly, every employer, after hiring an | ||||||
23 | employee, shall verify the employment eligibility of the | ||||||
24 | employee through the E-Verify program and shall keep a record |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the verification. | ||||||
2 | (b) An employer shall not intentionally employ an | ||||||
3 | unauthorized alien. If, in the case when an employer uses a | ||||||
4 | contract, subcontract, or other independent contractor | ||||||
5 | agreement to obtain the labor of an alien in this State, the | ||||||
6 | employer intentionally contracts with an unauthorized alien or | ||||||
7 | with a person who employs or contracts with an unauthorized | ||||||
8 | alien to perform the labor, the employer violates this | ||||||
9 | subsection. | ||||||
10 | (c) The Department of Labor shall prescribe a complaint | ||||||
11 | form for a person to allege a violation of subsection (b) of | ||||||
12 | this Section. The complainant shall not be required to list the | ||||||
13 | complainant's social security number on the complaint form or | ||||||
14 | to have the complaint form notarized. On receipt of a complaint | ||||||
15 | on a prescribed complaint form that an employer allegedly | ||||||
16 | intentionally employs an unauthorized alien, the Department | ||||||
17 | shall investigate whether the employer has violated subsection | ||||||
18 | (b) of this Section. If a complaint is received but is not | ||||||
19 | submitted on a prescribed complaint form, the Department of | ||||||
20 | Labor may investigate whether the employer has violated | ||||||
21 | subsection (b) of this Section. This subsection shall not be | ||||||
22 | construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that | ||||||
23 | are not submitted on a prescribed complaint form. The | ||||||
24 | Department shall not investigate complaints that are based on | ||||||
25 | race, color, or national origin. The Department may take | ||||||
26 | evidence, administer oaths or affirmations, issue subpoenas |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | requiring attendance and testimony of witnesses and cause | ||||||
2 | depositions to be taken. When investigating a complaint, the | ||||||
3 | Department shall verify the work authorization of the alleged | ||||||
4 | unauthorized alien with the federal government pursuant to 8 | ||||||
5 | U.S.C. 1373(c). A State, county, or local official shall not | ||||||
6 | attempt to independently make a final determination on whether | ||||||
7 | an alien is authorized to work in the United States. An alien's | ||||||
8 | immigration status or work authorization status shall be | ||||||
9 | verified with the federal government pursuant to 8 U.S.C. | ||||||
10 | 1373(c). A person who knowingly files a false and frivolous | ||||||
11 | complaint under this subsection is guilty of a Class C | ||||||
12 | misdemeanor. | ||||||
13 | (d) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of | ||||||
14 | subsection (b) of this Section that the employer was entrapped. | ||||||
15 | To claim entrapment, the employer must admit by the employer's | ||||||
16 | testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the | ||||||
17 | violation. An employer who asserts an entrapment defense has | ||||||
18 | the burden of proving the following by clear and convincing | ||||||
19 | evidence: | ||||||
20 | (1) the idea of committing the violation started with | ||||||
21 | law enforcement officers or their agents rather than with | ||||||
22 | the employer; | ||||||
23 | (2) the law enforcement officers or their agents urged | ||||||
24 | and induced the employer to commit the violation; and | ||||||
25 | (3) the employer was not predisposed to commit the | ||||||
26 | violation before the law enforcement officers or their |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agents urged and induced the employer to commit the | ||||||
2 | violation. | ||||||
3 | (e) An employer does not establish entrapment if the | ||||||
4 | employer was predisposed to violate subsection (b) of this | ||||||
5 | Section and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely | ||||||
6 | provided the employer with an opportunity to commit the | ||||||
7 | violation. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or | ||||||
8 | their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity. | ||||||
9 | The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be | ||||||
10 | considered in determining if an employer has proven entrapment. | ||||||
11 | (a) Prior to choosing to voluntarily enroll in any | ||||||
12 | Electronic Employment Verification
System, including the | ||||||
13 | E-Verify program and the Basic Pilot program, as authorized by | ||||||
14 | 8 U.S.C.
1324a, Notes, Pilot Programs for Employment | ||||||
15 | Eligibility Confirmation (enacted by P.L. 104-208, div. C, | ||||||
16 | title IV, subtitle A), employers are urged to consult the | ||||||
17 | Illinois Department of Labor's website for current information | ||||||
18 | on the accuracy of E-Verify and to review and understand an | ||||||
19 | employer's legal responsibilities relating to the use of the | ||||||
20 | voluntary E-Verify program. | ||||||
21 | (a-1) The Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) shall post on | ||||||
22 | its website information or
links to information from the United | ||||||
23 | States Government Accountability Office, Westat, or a similar
| ||||||
24 | reliable source independent of the Department of Homeland | ||||||
25 | Security regarding: (1) the accuracy
of the E-Verify databases; | ||||||
26 | (2) the approximate financial burden and expenditure of time |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that use
of E-Verify requires from employers; and (3) an | ||||||
2 | overview of an employer's responsibilities under
federal and | ||||||
3 | state law relating to the use of E-Verify. | ||||||
4 | (f) (b) Upon initial enrollment in an Employment | ||||||
5 | Eligibility Verification System or within
30 days after the | ||||||
6 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | ||||||
7 | Assembly, an
employer enrolled in E-Verify or any other | ||||||
8 | Employment Eligibility Verification System must
attest, under | ||||||
9 | penalty of perjury, on a form prescribed by the IDOL available | ||||||
10 | on the IDOL website: | ||||||
11 | (1) that the employer has received the Basic Pilot or | ||||||
12 | E-Verify training materials from the Department of | ||||||
13 | Homeland Security (DHS), and that all employees who will | ||||||
14 | administer the program have completed the Basic Pilot or | ||||||
15 | E-Verify Computer Based Tutorial (CBT); and | ||||||
16 | (2) that the employer has posted the notice from DHS | ||||||
17 | indicating that the employer is enrolled in the Basic Pilot | ||||||
18 | or E-Verify program and the anti-discrimination notice | ||||||
19 | issued by the Office of Special Counsel for | ||||||
20 | Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), | ||||||
21 | Civil Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice in a | ||||||
22 | prominent place that is clearly visible to both prospective | ||||||
23 | and current employees. The employer must maintain the | ||||||
24 | signed original of the attestation form prescribed by the | ||||||
25 | IDOL, as well as all CBT certificates of completion and | ||||||
26 | make them available for inspection or copying by the IDOL |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | at any reasonable time. | ||||||
2 | (g) (c) It is a violation of this Act for an employer | ||||||
3 | enrolled in an Employment Eligibility Verification System, | ||||||
4 | including the E-Verify program and the Basic Pilot program: | ||||||
5 | (1) to fail to display the notices supplied by DHS and | ||||||
6 | OSC in a prominent place that is clearly visible to both | ||||||
7 | prospective and current employees; | ||||||
8 | (2) to allow any employee to use an Employment | ||||||
9 | Eligibility Verification System prior to having completed | ||||||
10 | CBT; | ||||||
11 | (3) to fail to take reasonable steps to prevent an | ||||||
12 | employee from circumventing the
requirement to complete | ||||||
13 | the CBT by assuming another employee's E-Verify or Basic | ||||||
14 | Pilot user
identification or password; | ||||||
15 | (4) to use the Employment Eligibility Verification | ||||||
16 | System to verify the
employment eligibility of job | ||||||
17 | applicants prior to hiring or to otherwise use the | ||||||
18 | Employment
Eligibility Verification System to screen | ||||||
19 | individuals prior to hiring and prior to the completion of
| ||||||
20 | a Form I-9; | ||||||
21 | (5) to terminate an employee or take any other adverse | ||||||
22 | employment action against
an individual prior to receiving | ||||||
23 | a final nonconfirmation notice from the Social
Security | ||||||
24 | Administration or the Department of Homeland Security; | ||||||
25 | (6) to fail to notify an individual, in writing, of the | ||||||
26 | employer's
receipt of a tentative nonconfirmation notice, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the individual's right to contest the tentative
| ||||||
2 | nonconfirmation notice, and of the contact information for | ||||||
3 | the relevant government agency or
agencies that the | ||||||
4 | individual must contact to resolve the tentative | ||||||
5 | nonconfirmation notice; | ||||||
6 | (7) to fail to safeguard the information contained in | ||||||
7 | the Employment
Eligibility Verification System, and the | ||||||
8 | means of access to the system (such as passwords and other | ||||||
9 | privacy protections). An employer shall ensure that the | ||||||
10 | System is not used for any purpose other than employment | ||||||
11 | verification of newly hired employees and shall ensure that | ||||||
12 | the information contained in the
System and the means of | ||||||
13 | access to the System are not disseminated to any person | ||||||
14 | other than employees who need such information and access | ||||||
15 | to perform the employer's employment verification | ||||||
16 | responsibilities; | ||||||
17 | (h) (c-1) Any claim that an employer refused to hire, | ||||||
18 | segregated, or acted with respect to
recruitment, hiring, | ||||||
19 | promotion, renewal or employment, selection for training or | ||||||
20 | apprenticeship,
discharge, discipline, tenure or terms, | ||||||
21 | privileges, or conditions of employment without following
the | ||||||
22 | procedures of the Employment Eligibility Verification System, | ||||||
23 | including the Basic Pilot and
E-Verify programs, may be brought | ||||||
24 | under paragraph (G)(2) of Section 2-102 of the Illinois
Human | ||||||
25 | Rights Act; | ||||||
26 | (i) (c-2) It is a violation of this Section for an |
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1 | individual to falsely pose as an employer in
order to enroll in | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | an Employment Eligibility Verification System or for an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | employer to use an
Employment Eligibility Verification System | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | to access information regarding an individual who is
not an | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | employee of the employer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (d) Preemption. Neither the State nor any of its political | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | subdivisions, nor any unit of local government, including a | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | home rule unit, may require any employer to use an Employment | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Eligibility Verification System, including under the following | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | circumstances: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | (1) as a condition of receiving a government contract; | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

13 | (3) as penalty for violating licensing or other similar | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | laws. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | (j) This Section subsection (d)
is a denial and limitation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
