Supreme Court ruling could affect Utah immigration law

The U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday upholding Arizona’s law requiring businesses to use a federal employment verification program could be a precursor to validating at least a portion of Utah’s controversial guest worker bill passed earlier this year.

Utah’s law, HB116, has a similar provision that requires employers in the state to use E-verify, the federal database that allows employers to check the status of an employee.
