Indiana Attorney General to Enforce New Immigration Business Regulations Affecting Employers

Indiana Attorney General to Enforce New Immigration Business Regulations Affecting Employers

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that starting July 1, his office will begin enforcing new regulations targeting businesses that employ unauthorized workers. This follows the enactment of Senate Enrolled Act 76, which prohibits employers from knowingly hiring or retaining employees not authorized to work in the U.S. The law empowers the attorney general's office to investigate and potentially sanction companies found in violation. Sanctions could include suspending a company's operating license for five days or permanently revoking it, depending on the severity and history of violations. The enforcement will prioritize tips from federal and local agencies, with public complaints being scrutinized to avoid misuse of the law. The attorney general's office is also working on a data-sharing agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor to ensure compliance with e-Verify checks.
