The Mohave County Attorney’s Office is investigating eight possible violations of the Legal Arizona Workers Act.

The Office began accepting citizen complaint forms when the Act, sometimes called the “Employer Sanctions Law,” became effective on Jan. 1.

The complaint forms are available at the County Attorney’s Office in Kingman, 315 N. Fourth St., and on the County Attorney’s Office Web site, www.co.mohave.az.us.

Of the eight businesses being investigated, one is in Kingman, one is in Mohave Valley and six are in Lake Havasu City, Chief Deputy County Attorney Jace Zack said.
