Practice question

- Every authorized recruitment act is necessarily criminal.
- Classification as recruitment does not alone resolve all separate illegality and criminal-liability requirements.
- No referral can ever constitute recruitment.
- The worker count alone proves all offenses.
- The definition replaces every licensing law.
