I'm completely on board with this kind of thing, but a much more effective measure is to levy fines which can get extreme. HIPAA is a great example of how powerful of a force fines can be. If you get stripped of your right to do business you can always start a new business or move to another state. But if you have to pay a fine, there's no easy way out - you can fight it in court but at the end of the day you're likely paying the fine. This would allow the state to actually recoup on the damage that wage theft reaps on the populace of the state.
