INDIANA HOUSE COMMITTEE PASSES EMPLOYER SANCTIONS BILL
The Evansville Courier & Press describes the "three strikes" bill that passed by a 7-5 version in a House Committee:
With Republicans complaining it was watered down and Democrats contending it was strengthened, the "three-strikes" illegal-immigration bill advanced out of an Indiana House committee today.
The House Public Policy Committee made numerous changes to the bill, Senate Bill 335, from the version that passed last month in the state Senate.
Among other things, employers still could face the loss of their business license to operate in Indiana if they are found guilty of employing illegal aliens three times. The difference is, the amended bill shortens the violation period from three times in 10 years to three times in five.
Also, instead of violations being investigated and prosecuted by all 92 county prosecutors in local courts, illegal-alien-hiring cases instead would by heard by an administrative law judge at the state Department of Labor.
The bill also mandates the use of E-Verify by all employers in the state.
