The provisions blocked by Judge Blackburn include:

•Stopping an "unauthorized alien" from seeking work as an employee or independent contractor.
•Criminalizing those who assist unauthorized aliens. She blocked a large section which would make it against the law to conceal, harbor, transport or encourage an illegal alien to stay in Alabama. This includes portions of the law referring to landlords.
•Stopping businesses from deducting the wages they pay to unauthorized aliens from their state taxes.
•Stopping the state from creating a new protected class of workers. The new law would have allowed workers who were not hired or fired instead of unauthorized aliens to sue employers for discrimination.
