OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The author of Oklahoma's anti-illegal immigration law plans to testify in Utah about the law's impact.

Utah lawmakers are using legislation drafted by Republican state Rep. Randy Terrill of Moore as a model for their own efforts to fight illegal immigration.

Terrill says he looks forward to helping the people of Utah work on the issue. He will testify in Park City.

Terrill's bill changed Oklahoma law to eliminate incentives that lure illegal aliens to the state. It ended most public assistance and taxpayer-funded entitlement benefits for illegal aliens and penalized employers who employ illegal aliens.

In June, a federal judge blocked portions of the law that were scheduled to go into effect July 1. The judge says it is ``substantially likely'' the law is unconstitutional.
