SB1288

Missouri SB1288 modifies employment laws to prohibit businesses from hiring unauthorized aliens and requires participation in federal work.

Missouri SB1288 repeals and replaces existing laws to prohibit businesses from knowingly employing unauthorized aliens. It mandates that businesses participating in federal work authorization programs affirm their participation and provide documentation. Public employers must also enroll in these programs. The bill imposes penalties on employers found to have knowingly hired unauthorized aliens and allows the attorney general to seek injunctions and monetary damages. It also outlines procedures for the attorney general to enforce these provisions.
