EXPLANATION
5
This
bill
relates
to
illegal
immigration
in
Iowa.
6
The
bill
directs
the
attorney
general
pursuant
to
new
Code
7
section
13.11
to
negotiate
a
memorandum
of
understanding
8
(MOU)
regarding
immigration
issues
between
the
state
and
the
9
United
States
department
of
justice
in
order
to
increase
joint
10
enforcement
of
federal
immigration
law
with
the
United
States
11
department
of
homeland
security.
The
MOU
shall
help
insure
12
that
unauthorized
aliens
discovered
by
Iowa
law
enforcement
13
officials
are
quickly
and
safely
transferred
into
federal
14
custody.
15
In
new
Code
section
91A.15,
the
bill
requires
an
employer
16
to
withhold
state
income
tax
from
the
compensation
of
an
17
independent
contractor
who
fails
to
provide
a
valid
social
18
security
number.
An
employer
who
fails
to
withhold
such
19
required
income
taxes
shall
be
liable
for
that
amount.
20
The
bill
creates
new
Code
chapter
91F,
which
requires
21
that
each
public
employer
use
the
federal
electronic
work
22
authorization
program,
known
as
E-verify,
to
verify
the
23
lawful
presence
of
newly
hired
employees.
Public
employers
24
are
prohibited
from
entering
into
contracts
unless
the
25
contractors
register
and
participate
in
the
E-verify
program.
26
The
discharge
of
a
United
States
citizen
or
a
permanent
27
resident
alien
employee
of
an
employer,
who,
on
the
date
of
the
28
discharge
employed
an
unauthorized
alien,
shall
constitute
an
29
unfair
trade
practice
and
the
discharged
employee
shall
have
a
30
private
right
of
action.
31
Under
new
Code
section
234.15,
the
bill
requires
each
32
state
agency
or
political

natural
person
age
14
years
or
older
who
34
applies
for
state
or
local
benefits,
or
federal
benefits

including
6
completion
of
an
affidavit
by
the
applicant
asserting
the
7
applicant’s

States.
A
person
8
who
knowingly
and
willfully
makes
a
false,
fictitious,
or
9
fraudulent
statement
in
an
affidavit
commits
a
fraudulent
10
practice,
and
may
be
subject
to
a
class

An

report
shall
be
compiled
by
the
secretary
of
25
state
about
the
use
of
the
SAVE
program
by
the
state
agencies
26
and
political
subdivisions
and
the
number
of
errors
and
any
27
significant
delays.
The
report
shall
be
provided
to
the
28
governor
and
general
assembly.
29
The
bill
creates
new
Code
chapter
710B.
Under
Code
section
30
710B.1,
a
person
shall
not
transport,
harbor,
or

31
an
alien
in
reckless
disregard
for
the
person’s
illegal
32
immigration
status.
Such
a
violation
is
a
serious
misdemeanor,
33
which
is
punishable
by

no
more
than
one
year
34
and
a
