Legislative panel advances guest-worker bill

Rep. Bill Wright’s guest-worker immigration bill passed out of committee 6-1 Tuesday despite questions about its constitutionality and its ability to be enacted without a federal waiver.

The legislation would allow employers to enter into a guest-worker contract for two years and would be put into place whether the federal government proceeds with granting a waiver or not.
