Official summary

Official text — shown in English exactly as published by the official source. The official text controls.

With certain exceptions, the act prohibits an employer or an employer's agent from demanding, confiscating, retaining, or otherwise requiring an individual who is an employee or an applicant for employment or who is performing work or seeking to perform work for the employer in any capacity, including a migrant worker or seasonal employee, to surrender the individual's government-issued identification card. A person that knowingly violates the act's prohibition commits criminal possession of an identification document, which is a class 2 misdemeanor. A person commits a bias-motivated crime if, with the intent to intimidate or harass another individual, in whole or in part, because of that individual's actual or perceived race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, or transgender identity, the person: Violates the act's prohibitions; or Provides, or threatens to provide, an individual's government-issued identification document to federal immigration authorities, except where required or permitted by state or federal law. Such a bias-motivated crime is a class 1 misdemeanor, and a victim may seek additional remedies available under law. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.

If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
