House Bills 1502 and 1503 target illegal aliens in PA Construction Industry

Representatives John Galloway (D-Bucks) and Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) have introduced a pair of bills intended to prevent employers in the construction industry from intentionally hiring illegal aliens. HB 1502 requires contractors and subcontractors engaged in public works projects to “verify” that all of their employees – to the best of their knowledge using E-verify and the Social Security Number Verification Service – are legal. HB 1503 requires construction industry employers to maintain a record of verification for their employees.
