The Washington state Legislature has passed the "Immigrant Workers Protection Act", which requires employers to provide timely notice to employees regarding a federal I-9 investigation. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self, D-Mukilteo and Sen. Rebecca Saldaña, aims to increase fairness and transparency in the workplace for immigrant workers. The law also includes new protections for privacy, no retaliation, and an investigation into employer practices. The Attorney General's Office can take legal action against employers if they break the law.
