MS Employment Protection Act; revise penalties for violations of.

HB 1271 revises penalties for violations of Mississippi's Employment Protection Act by adding administrative dissolution or revocation of an employer's business license as a potential penalty. The bill authorizes the Department of Employment Security, Department of Revenue, and Secretary of State to create enforcement rules, and allows the Attorney General to pursue civil penalties for violations. It also updates related sections of the law (79-4-14.20, 79-4-15.30, 79-29-821, and 79-29-1021) to align with these changes. This affects all employers in Mississippi required to comply with the act's core provisions, such as using E-Verify for new hires and avoiding discriminatory hiring practices.
