Thread: Indiana Immigration bill gets a vote

State Sen. Mike Delph's illegal immigration bill has been scheduled for a vote by House Public Policy Committee chairman Trent Van Haaften, D-Mount Vernon.

The bill - SB 335 - has been placed on the agenda for 10 a.m. Monday, according to a scheduled posted this morning.

The Public Policy Committee would have to pass the bill in order for it to advance.

The bill -- which punishes Indiana employers for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants -- will likely be amended to address a number of concerns raised on Wednesday at a public hearing, according to Delph, R-Carmel.

If approved, SB 335 will likely move to the House Ways and Means Committee. That committee would have to approve an anticipated amendment to appropriate $1.5 million for the Attorney General and Indiana State Police to carry out various enforcement measures contained in the bill.
