Lawmakers voted down a bill Monday that would have required employers to screen workers using a federal background check system amid concerns it would add another burden to business owners.
The Senate State Affairs Committee defeated the measure on 7-2 vote. The bill was aimed at stemming the flow of illegal immigrants into the state, and would have put employers who accepted false identification at risk of losing their business licenses.http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2010/03/09/business-financial-impact-us-id-immigration-legislation_7417987.htmlBy SIMMI AUJLA — Forbes.com
