BILL NUMBER: AB 26INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Donnelly DECEMBER 6, 2010 An act to add Section 53069.63 to the Government Code, to add Part 5.5 (commencing with Section 1550) to Division 2 of the Labor Code, and to add Sections 653.65, 653.67, 653.69, 653.71, 653.73, and 653.74 to the Penal Code, relating to illegal immigrants. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 26, as introduced, Donnelly. Illegal immigrants. Existing law, held unenforceable as preempted by federal law in the case of League of United Latin American Citizens v. Wilson (1997) 997 F.Supp. 1244, prohibits any city, county, or other legally authorized local governmental entity from preventing or limiting the cooperation of any law enforcement agency with federal authorities regarding persons arrested and suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws, as specified. This bill would prohibit public officials and agencies from adopting a policy that limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws or that restricts the sharing of a person's immigration status, as specified. The bill would allow any person to bring an action against an entity to enforce these provisions. Existing law generally regulates employment, including, but not limited to, the wages, hours, and working conditions of employees. This bill would prohibit an employer from knowingly or intentionally employing an unauthorized alien, as specified. The bill would establish a process for persons to file complaints of violations of these provisions with the Attorney General or a district attorney. The bill would make it a misdemeanor to make a false and frivolous complaint alleging a violation of these provisions by an employer. The bill would provide for the investigation of these complaints and specify consequences, including the suspension of certain licenses, for employers that violate these provisions. The bill would require every employer to verify the employment eligibility of employees through the federal E-Verify program and require employers to participate in the federal E-Verify program in order to be eligible for economic development incentives, as specified. Because this bill would impose new duties on local governments and district attorneys, it would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law, held unenforceable as preempted by federal law in the case of League of United Latin American Citizens v. Wilson (1997) 977 F.Supp. 1244, requires every law enforcement agency, with respect to any person who is arrested and suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws, to, among other things, attempt to verify the legal status of such person and notify the Attorney General and federal authorities of any apparent illegal status. Existing law makes it a felony, punishable in the state prison for 5 years and a fine of $25,000, for any person to use false documents to conceal his or her true citizenship or resident alien status. This bill would make it a misdemeanor for a person to be present on any public or private land while at the same time the person is in violation of specified federal immigration laws. The bill would make it a felony to be in violation of this provision if the person is in possession of specified drugs, weapons, or property, as specified. The bill would make it a felony for a person to intentionally engage in the smuggling of a human being for profit or commercial purposes, as specified, and would provide differing penalties depending on the circumstances of the offense. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for an occupant of a motor vehicle to attempt to hire persons for work if the motor vehicle blocks or impedes the normal movement of traffic. The bill would also make it a misdemeanor to enter a motor vehicle in order to be hired by an occupant if the motor vehicle blocks or impedes the normal movement of traffic. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for a person who is unlawfully present in the United States and who is an unauthorized alien, as defined, to knowingly apply for or solicit work or perform work as an employee or independent contractor. The bill would make it a misdemeanor to transport or move or attempt to transport or move an alien when the person knows, or recklessly disregards the fact, that the alien is in the United States unlawfully, as specified. The bill would make it a misdemeanor to conceal, harbor, or shield or attempt to conceal, harbor, or shield an alien from detection if the person knows, or recklessly disregards the fact, that the alien is in the United States unlawfully, as specified. The bill would make it a misdemeanor to encourage or induce an alien to come to, or reside in, this state if the person knows, or recklessly disregards the fact, that the alien would be entering or residing in this state unlawfully. The bill would make a violation of these provisions a felony if the violation involves 10 or more illegal aliens. Because this bill would create various new crimes, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require a peace officer to cause the removal and either immobilization or impoundment of a vehicle if the peace officer determines that a person is driving the vehicle while the person is engaged in certain acts involving an alien unlawfully in the United States, as specified. The bill would establish the Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission Fund to be funded as specified, and administered by the Department of Justice to be used, upon appropriation, for gang and immigration enforcement and for county jail reimbursements relating to illegal immigration. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. This act may be cited as the Secure Immigration Enforcement Act. SEC. 2. The Legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout California. The Legislature declares that the intent of this act is to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in California. The Legislature further declares that the provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States. SEC. 3. Section 53069.63 is added to the Government Code, to read: 53069.63. (a) No official or agency of the state or a city, county, city and county, or other political subdivision may adopt a policy that limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law. (b) Except as otherwise provided in federal law, officials or agencies of the state or of a city, county, city and county, or other political subdivision may not be prohibited or in any way restricted from sending, receiving, or maintaining information relating to the immigration status of any individual or exchanging that information with any other federal, state, or local governmental entity for any of the following purposes: (1) Determining eligibility for any public benefit, service, or license provided by any federal, state, city, county, city and county, or other political subdivision. (2) Verifying any claim of residence or domicile if determination of residence or domicile is required under the laws of the state or a judicial order issued pursuant to a civil or criminal proceeding.

(c) A person may bring an action in superior court to challenge any official or agency of the state or of a city, county, city and county, or other political subdivision that adopts or implements a policy that limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law. If there is a judicial finding that an entity has violated this section, the court shall order any of the following: (1) That the person who brought the action recover court costs and attorney's fees. (2) That the entity pay a civil penalty of not less than one thousand dollars ($1,000) and not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each day that the policy has remained in effect after the filing of an action pursuant to this subdivision. (d) A court shall collect the civil penalty prescribed in subdivision (c) and remit the civil penalty to the Department of Justice for deposit into the Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Mission Fund established by Section 653.74 of the Penal Code. (e) A law enforcement officer shall be indemnified by the law enforcement officer's agency against reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the officer in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding brought pursuant to this section to which the officer may be a party by reason of the officer being or having been a member of the law enforcement agency, except in relation to matters in which the officer is adjudged to have acted in bad faith. (f) This section shall be implemented in a manner consistent with federal laws regulating immigration, protecting the civil rights of all persons, and respecting the privileges and immunities of United States citizens. SEC. 4. Part 5.5 (commencing with Section 1550) is added to Division 2 of the Labor Code, to read: PART 5.5. Employment of Unauthorized Aliens 1550. (a) An employer shall not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. If, in the case when an employer uses a contract, subcontract, or other independent contractor agreement to obtain the labor of an alien in this state, the employer knowingly contracts with an unauthorized alien or with a person who the employer knows employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien to perform the labor, the employer violates this section. (b) The Attorney General shall prescribe a complaint form for a person to allege a violation of subdivision (a). The complainant shall not be required to list the complainant's social security number on the complaint form or to have the complaint form notarized. On receipt of a complaint on a prescribed complaint form that an employer allegedly knowingly employs an unauthorized alien, the Attorney General or district attorney shall investigate whether the employer has violated subdivision (a). If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a prescribed complaint form, the Attorney General or district attorney may investigate whether the employer has violated subdivision (a). This section shall not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that are not submitted on a prescribed complaint form. The Attorney General or district attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race, color, or national origin. A complaint that is submitted to a district attorney shall be submitted to the district attorney in the county in which the alleged unauthorized alien is or was employed by the employer. The county sheriff or any other local law enforcement agency may assist in investigating a complaint. When investigating a complaint, the Attorney General or district attorney shall verify the work authorization of the alleged unauthorized alien with the federal government pursuant to Section 1373(c) of Title 8 of the United States Code. A state, county, or local official shall not attempt to independently make a final determination on whether an alien is authorized to work in the United States. An alien's immigration status or work authorization status shall be verified with the federal government pursuant to Section 1373(c) of Title 8 of the United States Code. A person who knowingly files a false and frivolous complaint under this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. (c) (1) If, after an investigation, the Attorney General or district attorney determines that the complaint is not false and frivolous, the Attorney General or district attorney shall do both of the following: (A) Notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the unauthorized alien. (B) Notify the local law enforcement agency of the unauthorized alien. (2) If, after investigation, the Attorney General determines that the complaint is not false and frivolous, the Attorney General shall notify the appropriate district attorney to bring an action pursuant to subdivision (d), if the complaint was originally filed with the Attorney General. (d) An action for a violation of subdivision (a) shall be brought against the employer by the district attorney in the county where the unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. A second violation shall be based only on the employment of an unauthorized alien by the employer after a prior action has been brought against that employer for a violation of subdivision (a) or Section 1555. (e) For any action in superior court under this section, the court shall expedite the action, including holding the hearing at the earliest practicable date. (f) On a finding of a violation of subdivision (a) the following shall apply: (1) For a first violation, as described in paragraph (3), all of the following apply: (A) The court shall order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized aliens. (B) The court shall order the employer to be subject to a three-year probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file quarterly reports with the district attorney containing the information obtained from the I-9 form of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. (C) The court shall order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the district attorney within three business days after the order is issued. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the district attorney within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended pursuant to this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the district attorney. Notwithstanding any other law, on filing of the affidavit the suspended licenses shall be reinstated immediately by the appropriate agencies. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that are subject to suspension pursuant to this subdivision are all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the licenses that are subject to suspension pursuant to this subdivision are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the Attorney General and the Attorney General shall maintain the copy pursuant to subdivision (g). (D) The court may order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described in subparagraph (C) that are held by the employer for a period not to exceed 10 business days. The court shall base its decision to suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it during the action for a violation of this subdivision and shall consider the following factors, if relevant: (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer. (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer. (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation. (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any applicable requirements. (v) The duration of the violation. (vi) The role of the directors, officers, or principals of the employer in the violation. (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate. (2) For a second violation, as described in paragraph (3), the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately revoke the licenses. (3) A violation shall be considered: (A) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subdivision or subdivision (f) of Section 1555 for that employer's business location. (B) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subdivision or subdivision (f) of Section 1555 for that employer's business location. (g) The Attorney General shall maintain copies of court orders that are received pursuant to subdivision (f) and shall maintain a database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation of subdivision (a) and make the court orders available on the Attorney General's Internet Web site. (h) On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to Section 1373(c) of Title 8 of the United States Code. The federal government's determination creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial verification pursuant to Section 1373(c) of Title 8 of the United States Code. (i) For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment authorization of an employee through the federal E-Verify program creates a rebuttable presumption that an employer did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. (j) For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that it has complied in good faith with the requirements of Section 1324a(b) of Title 8 of the United States Code establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have complied with the requirements of Section 1324(b) of Title 8 of the United States Code, notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic, or accidental technical or procedural failure to meet the requirements, if there was a good faith attempt to comply with the requirements. (k) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subdivision (a) that the employer was entrapped. To claim entrapment, the employer must admit by the employer's testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the violation. An employer that asserts an entrapment defense has the burden of proving the following by clear and convincing evidence: (1) The idea of committing the violation started with law enforcement officers or their agents rather than with the employer. (2) The law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the employer to commit the violation. (3) The employer was not predisposed to commit the violation before the law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the employer to commit the violation. (l) An employer does not establish entrapment if the employer was predisposed to violate subdivision (a) and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely provided the employer with an opportunity to commit the violation. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity. The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be considered in determining if an employer has proven entrapment. 1555. (a) An employer shall not intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. If, in the case when an employer uses a contract, subcontract, or other independent contractor agreement to obtain the labor of an alien in this state, the employer intentionally contracts with an unauthorized alien or contracts with a person who the employer intends shall employ or contract with an unauthorized alien to perform the labor, the employer violates this section. (b) The Attorney General shall prescribe a complaint form for a person to allege a violation of subdivision (a). The complainant shall not be required to list the complainant's social security number on the complaint form or to have the complaint form notarized. On receipt of a complaint on a prescribed complaint form that an employer allegedly intentionally employs an unauthorized alien, the Attorney General or a district attorney shall investigate whether the employer has violated subdivision (a). If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a prescribed complaint form, the Attorney General or district attorney may investigate whether the employer has violated subdivision (a). This section shall not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that are not submitted on a prescribed complaint form. The Attorney General or district attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race, color, or national origin. A complaint that is submitted to a district attorney shall be submitted to the district attorney in the county in which the alleged unauthorized alien is or was employed by the employer. The county sheriff or any other local law enforcement agency may assist in investigating a complaint. When investigating a complaint, the Attorney General or district attorney shall verify the work authorization of the alleged unauthorized alien with the federal government pursuant to Section 1373(c) of Title 8 of the United States Code. A state, county, or local official shall not attempt to independently make a final determination on whether an alien is authorized to work in the United States. An alien's immigration status or work authorization status shall be verified with the federal government pursuant to Section 1373(c) of Title 8 of the United States Code. A person who knowingly files a false and frivolous complaint under this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. (c) If, after investigation, the Attorney General or district attorney determines that the complaint is not false and frivolous the Attorney General or district attorney shall do all of the following: (1) Notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the unauthorized alien. (2) Notify the local law enforcement agency of the unauthorized alien. (3) The Attorney General shall notify the appropriate district attorney to bring an action pursuant to subdivision (d) if the complaint was originally filed with the Attorney General. (d) An action for a violation of subdivision (a) shall be brought against the employer by the district attorney in the county where the unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. A second violation shall be based only on the employment of an unauthorized alien by the employer after a prior action has been brought against that employer for a violation of subdivision (a) or Section 1550. (e) For any action in superior court under this section, the court shall expedite the action, including holding the hearing at the earliest practicable date. (f) On a finding of a violation of subdivision (a) the following shall apply: (1) For a first violation, as described in paragraph (3), the court shall: (A) Order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized aliens. (B) Order the employer to be subject to a five-year probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file with the quarterly reports district attorney containing the information obtained from the I-9 form of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. (C) Order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described in subparagraph (D) that are held by the employer for a minimum of 10 days. The court shall base its decision to suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it during the action for a violation of this subdivision and shall consider the following factors, if relevant: (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer. (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer. (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation. (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any applicable requirements. (v) The duration of the violation. (vi) The role of the directors, officers, or principals of the employer in the violation. (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate. (D) Order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the district attorney. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the district attorney within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with the district attorney.

If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the Attorney General and the Attorney General shall maintain the copy pursuant to subdivision (g). (2) For a second violation, as described in paragraph (3), the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately revoke the licenses. (3) The violation shall be considered: (A) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subdivision or Section 1550 for that employer's business location. (B) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under this subdivision or Section 1550 for that employer's business location.

On a final determination of noncompliance, the employer shall repay all moneys received as an economic development incentive to the government entity within thirty days of the final determination.
