(Judge) Blackburn has decided that some parts of the state's controversial law should not be allowed to become law while the law continues to be challenged in court.
Here are the sections of the law which the judge enjoined from becoming law until final judgements are issued in the case:
Section 11a: "It is unlawful for a person who is an unauthorized alien to knowingly apply for work, solicit work in a public or private place, or perform work as an employee or independent contractor in this state,"
Section 13: Prohibits concealing, harboring, transporting, etc., of unlawfully-present aliens
Section 16: The taking of a state tax deduction for wages paid to an unauthorized alien employee
Section 17: Creates a state "discrimination" cause of action based on the retention or hiring of an unauthorized alien
Temporary injunctions issued earlier this month against other portions of the law were lifted Wednesday, including four big issues:
Section 10: a misdemeanor for any illegal immigrant that possesses fake documents Section 12: law enforcement officers will have to make a reasonable attempt to determine citizenship during a traffic stop Section 28: Every student enrolling in public school has to prove he or she was born in the United States or is lawfully present in the United States Section 30: Must prove citizenship when applying for a driver's license or motor vehicle license plate
This article shows that some of these blocked sections are only blocked temporarily, until the results of a final hearing of challenges are complete.
So some of these blocked sections could possibly be unblocked by this same judge depending on the outcome of a final hearing.
This article also has links to the full documents.
Ping!
temporary injunctions are issue based on the standard that there is a SUBSTANTIAL likelihood of sucess on the merrits by the moving party.
a misdemeanor for any illegal immigrant that possesses fake documents - This should be a felony. A misdemeanor means they will let them make bail and skip town.
