This bill amends Section 714.8 of the Code 2026 to include a new subsection that defines a fraudulent practice related to employment. Specifically, it establishes that it is considered fraudulent for an individual to provide a false social security number to an employer or prospective employer for the purpose of retaining or obtaining employment or any other valuable benefit.

The bill also outlines the penalties associated with such fraudulent practices, which can range from a class C felony to a simple misdemeanor, depending on the monetary value or worth of the property or services involved in the fraudulent act. This legislative change aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding employment fraud and protect employers from deceptive practices.
