10/10/2008: San Francisco Health Care Law Survives ERISA Preemption (Jackson Lewis LLP)
Excerpt: "Two key observations support, in large part, the court's lengthy decision. First, the Ninth Circuit found the Ordinance does not require employers either to establish an ERISA plan or modify an existing ERISA plan in order to comply with its provisions. The court noted all employers subject to the Ordinance have the option to make payments directly to San Francisco to satisfy the minimum health care expenses spending requirement."
