"On July 24, New York's Marriage Equality Act will become effective, making New York the sixth and largest state to recognize same-s.ex marriage. Specifically, New York's Marriage Equality Act 'formally recognizes otherwise-valid marriages without regard to whether the parties are the same or different se.x.' In addition, the act provides that all marriages, including same-s.ex marriages, 'be treated equally in all respects under the law." (Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP)

A Guide to Health Insurance Exchanges
"It seems like a simple idea: create new marketplaces, called 'exchanges,' where consumers can comparison shop for health insurance, sort of like shopping online for a hotel room or airline ticket. But, like almost everything else connected with the health law, state-based insurance 'exchanges' are embroiled in politics." (Kaiser Health News with the Washington Post)

A Trend Toward State Recognition of Same-S.ex Civil Unions
"Any employer-sponsored benefits that are governed by federal law will not be affected by the civil union laws. These include certain retirement plans and health and welfare benefits governed by [ERISA] and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, insofar as state law governs a particular benefit (for example, insured health benefits), employers operating in a civil union state must generally treat an employee's civil union partner as a spouse for purposes of those state-regulated benefits." (Proskauer)
