A bill requiring employers in the construction industry to use the federal E-Verify system to ensure that their employees don't include individuals not authorized to work in the United States has become law without Wolf's signature.

House Bill 1170, which was sponsored by state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh, is now the Construction Industry Employee Verification Act and designated as Act 75 of 2019.

Under the law, failure to use E-Verify when hiring new employees will result in action against a company's licenses required to do business, such as corporate charters and other business licenses.
