Colorado Proposes Their Own "Wal-Mart" Legislation

Thursday February 23, 2006
It appears that Maryland has indeed started a trend. The Colorado state legislature has recently proposed their own legislation requiring large employers in their state to reserve a certain percentage of their payroll for health coverage costs. Colorado emphasizes that this legislation is not intended to directly target Wal-Mart. Unlike Maryland, in Colorado, there are several large employers who would be affected by this bill, including King Soopers, Safeway, IBM, and the University of Denver.
