No new immigration law in Indiana

Last week the Indiana Legislature allowed the porposed Immigration Bill, designed to punish hiring of illegal immigrant workers, to die. Two different versions of the Bill were passed in the Senate and the House and the State Legislature could not agree upon a compromise Bill. The reason: the Legislative leadres have not scheduled a conference committee hearing to work out the differences.

As of now, Indiana has not joined the group of States that passed laws to punish employers with licensing sanctions, for hiring unauthorized workers. However, possibility of such a law coming into effect next year is not ruled out.
