HF5242: Transportation supplemental budget bill is referred to Rules and Administration

HF5242: Transportation supplemental budget bill is Rules and Administration for comparison with SF5284. I noticed the move today because there was a section added that would impact broadband workers…

Page 2, line 10, after “disabilities” insert “. In no case shall the workforce on a grant-funded broadband project include an illegal or undocumented worker. If an illegal or undocumented worker is found to be working on a project without employment authorization, the employer, general contractor, or foreman on the project shall be subject to the misclassification fines and penalties under section 181.723, subdivision 7, and section 326B.082, subdivisions 6, 7, 10, 11, and 13, as applicable”
