J. MILLARD TAWES, GOVERNOR 741
Appeal from the decision of the Commissioner resulting in revoca-
tion or suspension of the employment agent's license shall be through
due process of law.
167. No employment agent doing business in this State, or any
person employed by or acting as agent for any such employment
agent, shall
(1) In any manner or by any means whatsoever make any false
statement or false representation to any person seeking employment,
knowing the same to be false, in regard to any employment, work
or situation, its nature, location, or duration, the wages or salary
attached thereto or the circumstances surrounding the said employ-
ment, work or situation, or,
(2) Give to any employer or prospective employer any sum of
money or thing of value for the purpose of inducing the employment
of any applicant and for the creation of any vacancy, or,
(3) Collect in advance from any applicant for employment any
payment for service to be rendered to such applicant in obtaining em-
ployment except that an employment agent engaged in the business
of securing positions for teachers may charge each applicant a reg-
istration fee of not more than two ($2.00) dollars [.] , or,
(4) Send applicants to emigrant agents when engaged in procuring
job applicants as domestic or household employees for such emigrant
agents without having a bona fide order for employment. Such bona
fide order shall include the following information:
(a) Name and address of prospective employer, or employers.
(b) Description of duties of job.
(c) Amount of salary to be paid.
(d) Live on or off premises of prospective employer.
The emigrant agent shall also append to the bona fide order, or
orders, the following information:
"I, or we, (in case of partnership or corporation) hereby certify
that I, or we, know the above prospective employer, or employers,
and know them to be a person, or persons, of good moral character".
The aforesaid bona fide order and certification must be signed by
the emigrant agent and duly notarized, or,
(5) Deal with an emigrant agent or send applicants to an emigrant
agent without first securing a photostatic copy of license issued to
such emigrant agent by the licensing authority issuing such license
in the state where such emigrant is licensed. Such photostatic copy
shall be displayed in a prominent place and in full view of all appli-
cants seeking employment.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act is hereby declared
to be an emergency measure and necessary for the immediate pres-
ervation of the public health and safety, and having been passed by
a yea and nay vote supported by three-fifths of the members elected
to each of the two Houses of the General Assembly, the same shall
take effect from the date of its passage.
Approved April 28, 1959.
