Tripling Fines for Businesses Hiring Unauthorized Workers.

This law significantly increases the civil financial penalties imposed on employers who knowingly hire, recruit, or refer individuals unauthorized to work in the U.S. The goal is to strengthen accountability for businesses and deter illegal employment practices. For citizens, this means stricter enforcement of labor laws and potentially fairer competition in the job market.
Key points
Civil monetary penalties for employers violating laws against hiring unauthorized workers will be tripled across the board.
For a first offense, the minimum fine increases from $250 to $750, and the maximum increases from $2,000 to $6,000.
The maximum fine for repeat offenses increases from $10,000 to $30,000 per unauthorized worker.
