Oklahoma's immigration law
House Bill 1804, among other things, requires employers doing business within the state to verify the eligibility status of all new workers.

By the summer, it will require businesses to verify the work authorization status of any individual independent contractors. It also contains a provision allowing terminated employees to bring discrimination suits against their employers if they can show that an undocumented worker replaced them.
