SB 508 Illinois Senate · 103rd Regular Session

EMPLOYMENT-TECH

SB 508, known as the Employment-Tech bill, amends the Labor Dispute Act to update how notices are handled during employment-related investigations. The law requires that original notices sent to employees be redacted to protect their personal privacy under state and federal laws. It also clarifies that these specific procedures do not apply to routine inspections of employer I-9 employment verification forms. This change ensures that sensitive employee information is safeguarded while allowing standard immigration compliance checks to continue.
