The bill proposed by Representative Schultz focuses on prohibiting employers in Minnesota from hiring individuals who are not legally authorized to work in the United States. Key aspects of this bill include:

1. Clear definitions of terms such as "employee," "employer," "license," and "unauthorized individual."
2. A strong directive that no employer should knowingly hire someone who is unauthorized to work in the U.S.
3. The Commissioner of Labor and Industry is responsible for investigating potential violations of this rule, which can be triggered by reports or other credible information.
4. If an employer violates this law, they are required to dismiss all unauthorized employees. Additionally, they face the suspension of their business licenses for up to 14 business days and could be fined between $1,000 and $10,000 per violation.
5. Factors such as prior misconduct, the duration of the violation, the number of unauthorized individuals employed, and other relevant details will influence the severity of penalties.
6. The use of the E-Verify program to verify work authorization will generally protect employers from being presumed to have knowingly hired unauthorized workers.

In essence, this bill aims to enforce strict compliance with employment laws regarding authorization to work, using penalties and license suspension to deter and penalize non-compliance.
