An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, providing for Commonwealth grantee employment verification; establishing the Commonwealth Grantee Employment Verification Account; and imposing penalties.

HB 1781 requires organizations receiving Pennsylvania state grants (like nonprofits or contractors) to verify the employment eligibility of new employees using the federal E-Verify system. It establishes a Commonwealth Grantee Employment Verification Account and mandates that grant recipients complete a specific verification form confirming their use of E-Verify before receiving grant funds. The bill imposes penalties for willful violations, such as failing to verify eligibility or providing false information, and prohibits discrimination during verification. This applies to all grantees, contractors, and subcontractors funded by state grants used for employee wages, directly affecting entities receiving public funding.
