Health Plans
A hearing on SB 1414 by Sen. Carole Migden (D-San Francisco) was postponed by the Senate Health Committee. The bill would require businesses with more than 10,000 employees to spend at least 8% of their total wages on health care benefits or contribute to a state fund for health care.
AB 2737 by Assembly member Alan Nakanishi (R-Lodi) was amended and referred to the Revenue and Taxation Committee. The bill would immediately add and remove sections of the tax code to give tax credits to individuals and businesses that pay into health savings accounts.
