MONTGOMERY – Governor Bob Riley is pleased the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday approved three bills related to illegal immigration that he included in his Plan 2010 second term agenda.

The three bills: require adults seeking government benefits to prove they are lawfully in the United States (HB 163); require employers to verify they do not employ illegal aliens in order to qualify for economic incentives awarded by the Alabama Development Office (HB 727); and prohibit the state and local governments from renewing professional or commercial licenses for those found to be in the country illegally (HB 298).

All three bills are sponsored by Representative Micky Hammon.

“These are important steps Alabama can take to combat illegal immigration. I commend the committee for approving them and urge the House and Senate to pass them during this legislative session. I also thank Representative Micky Hammon for sponsoring these proposals and for helping to move them forward,” said Governor Riley.
