HB1804 foes pin hopes on courts
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - With efforts by lawmakers to repeal a contentious anti-immigration law falling short, opponents are now looking to see if the courts can derail the measure.
The bill passed last year targeting illegal immigrants has new provisions that go into effect July 1st placing new requirements on employers.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, including chambers of commerce in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, are asking a federal court in Oklahoma City to intervene.
The business groups contend the Oklahoma law interferes with federal immigration law.
Both sides are awaiting a decision by federal judge, who could dismiss the challenge, hold a hearing on the merits or issue an order blocking implementation.
No matter what the judge rules, an appeal to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals is expected.
