Massachusetts H2091 aims to protect workers by enforcing stricter penalties for employers who knowingly hire unauthorized aliens.

Massachusetts H2091 amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws to strengthen penalties for employers who knowingly hire unauthorized aliens. Employers must verify employee eligibility through the federal E-verify program. For a first violation, employers face a three-year probationary period and must terminate unauthorized aliens. A second violation results in permanent revocation of business licenses. The attorney general maintains a database of violations and employers must file sworn affidavits to reinstate suspended licenses.
