Labor - As enacted, clarifies that in determining whether a person is an illegal alien for employment purposes, the person's status is considered with respect to the employment of the person at a particular time. - Amends TCA Title 50.

This Tennessee law clarifies how employers determine if a worker is an undocumented immigrant for the purpose of hiring. It specifies that an alien is considered an illegal alien only if they are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or authorized to work at the specific moment they are being employed. The change ensures that a person's immigration status is evaluated based on their situation at the time of hiring rather than looking at their entire history. Employers in the state must use this updated definition when verifying worker eligibility under federal immigration rules.
