Napolitano gets illegal-hiring bill

The Arizona Daily Star

PHOENIX — The Legislature on Wednesday passed a comprehensive plan that would put firms that repeatedly and knowingly hire illegal immigrants out of business in Arizona.

The bill says a single violation could suspend a company's state licenses for up to 10 days. But House Bill 2779 also would let judges waive that penalty based on factors ranging from the number of illegal workers employed to the duration of employment.

Companies also would be able to present evidence that their directors or officers were not involved in the hiring. But a second violation within three years would mean permanent revocation of state licenses.
