Workforce; regulating staffing and hiring of aliens with temporary or asylum status in the state

HB 302, the "Alabama Foreign Worker Transparency Act," requires labor brokers recruiting foreign workers with temporary or asylum status to register with Alabama's Department of Workforce and report hiring details. It also imposes reporting obligations on charitable organizations providing financial support to these workers and authorizes investigations into violations, with civil and criminal penalties. The bill aims to increase transparency around foreign worker recruitment pathways, ensuring employers and sponsors comply with disclosure requirements for public benefits and financial support.
