Bill Summary

Relative to increasing penalties to employers who employee illegal aliens. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to increase the financial penalties for employers who hire undocumented immigrants, also referred to as "illegal aliens." Specifically, it amends Section 19C of Chapter 149 of the General Laws by changing the existing fine range from "five hundred nor less than two hundred dollars" to a significantly higher range of "$10,000 nor less than $4,000." This means that employers found to be employing individuals without legal authorization to work in the United States would face substantially larger fines than currently mandated.
