Summary

The bill bars employers and their agents from demanding, keeping, or otherwise controlling an employee’s or job applicant’s government‑issued ID, except for brief verification purposes. It creates a misdemeanor for knowingly possessing another person’s ID without permission and adds civil remedies for victims. The law also treats illegal ID confiscation as a bias‑motivated crime when motivated by protected characteristics.
