In the wake of SB 8, we expect to see numerous bills filed this session to challenge federal preemption of state and local laws and regulations that interfere with self-funded employer-sponsored benefit plans (so-called “ERISA” plans). We have prepared the attached primer on ERISA for purposes of evaluating specific legislative proposals and their potential effects on employers that provide ERISA plans. TCJL will vigorously oppose proposals that challenge preemption and undermine the stability and uniformity of ERISA plans.
