HB 62: AN ACT relating to unlawful employment.

This bill defines "unauthorized alien" as a person unlawfully present in the U.S. under federal immigration law. It makes it a Class A misdemeanor for such individuals to knowingly seek or perform work for pay in Kentucky. The law would directly affect non-citizens working without authorization in the state, criminalizing their employment activity while using plain language to describe the prohibition.
