In so doing, the Arizona Legislature reiterated that the Constitution of Arizona "protects an individual's right to bear arms in self-defense" and concluded that individuals, including employees, "are deprived of the means of self-defense in their personal motor vehicles" if forbidden from storing firearms in their locked and privately owned vehicles. The legislature also stated employers and business entities are not "unduly burdened by the presence of legally possessed items" secured within their employees' motor vehicles. Report Link Arizona Legislation Limits Employer Bans on Firearms in the Workplace.Jackson Lewis LLP - July 24, 2009 New legislation in Arizona expanding the rights of gun owners and concealed weapon permit holders to bring firearms onto employer property will go into effect on September 30, 2009. The “Parking Lot Law” has direct implications for many employers that relied upon their statutory right to declare their workplaces (including parking lots) “gun free zones.” Report Link Arizona Court of Appeals Rules That Metadata Is Not Subject to Public Records Request.Ford & Harrison LLP - January 19, 2009 In a 2-1 decision issued just this week, Division One of the Arizona Court of Appeals found that metadata associated with electronic documents was not subject to a public records request under Arizona's public records law. Report Link State Law Alert—Certain Employers Must Use E-Verify (pdf).Vedder Price - January 12, 2009 All employers doing business in Arizona are required to register for E-Verify and run all new Arizona
employees through the E-Verify system. Report Link Arizona's Minimum Wage Set to Increase on the First of the Year.Jackson Lewis LLP - December 26, 2008 Beginning January 1, 2009, Arizona’s minimum wage will increase from $6.90 to $7.25 per hour. The Industrial Commission of Arizona had approved the change in September. Arizona’s Minimum Wage Initiative, which was enacted into law in 2006, provides for cost of living increases annually, measured by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index during the previous year. Report Link Court Upholds Tough Arizona Immigration Law.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - November 05, 2008 The Ninth Circuit recently upheld a tough Arizona immigration law, known as the Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA), which targets employers who hire unauthorized workers. This is the first federal appeals court to rule on a challenge to a state immigration law. Report Link Arizona Minimum Wage Update.Ogletree Deakins - October 01, 2008 On September 24, 2008, the Arizona Industrial Commission approved the annual increase in the minimum wage rate to $7.25 per hour effective January 1, 2009. The $3.00 per hour tip credit allowed in the minimum wage statute remains unchanged. Report Link Ninth Circuit Upholds Arizona's Employer Sanctions Law.Ogletree Deakins - September 25, 2008 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday issued a ruling upholding the Legal Arizona Workers Act (“LAWA”). LAWA provides for the suspension and revocation of the business licenses of Arizona employers who knowingly employ illegal immigrants. LAWA also requires employers to verify the work status of newly-hired workers through the federal E-Verify employment verification program. Last year, various business and civic associations and non-profit corporations filed two lawsuits challenging LAWA on the ground that the Act infringes on federal immigration powers. They also claimed that LAWA lacks adequate due process protection for Arizona employers. Report Link Arizona’s E-Verify Law Upheld.Ogletree Deakins - September 25, 2008 On September 17, a federal appellate court upheld Arizona’s law requiring all employers to participate in E-Verify. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA) was not preempted by federal immigration law and that the Act does not, on its face, deprive employers of due process since there is an opportunity for employers to be heard before sanctions are imposed. Report Link Ninth Circuit Upholds Legal Arizona Workers ActFord & Harrison LLP - September 23, 2008 On September 17, 2008, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the controversial Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA). Under the LAWA, which took effect January 1, 2008, a business found guilty of "knowingly" or "intentionally" hiring undocumented workers faces suspension or revocation of its business license and is placed on probationary status for a period of time. LAWA also requires employers to use the controversial federal E-Verify system to check the work-authorization status of employees.
