Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said they are cracking down on labor trafficking in the construction industry.
The law, known as Senate Enrolled Act 76, would penalize businesses that employ workers without legal permission and requires cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
