Pennsylvania has legislation in place affecting current employers:
HB 2319 enacted on 5/11/2008
- Prohibits state contractors from knowingly employing, or knowingly permitting their subcontractors to employ, undocumented workers. It is an affirmative defense to the violation if the employer establishes that it has required the contractor to certify compliance with the Immigration Reform Control Act of 1986 and has notified the appropriate federal authority upon learning of the violation.
