Supreme Court May Hear San Francisco ERISA Healthcare Case

By Suzanne Wynn

ADVERTISEMENTS

SCOTUSblog is reporting that Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy has asked the city of San Francisco to respond to a plea by the Golden Gate Restaurant Association in their application that San Francisco’s Health Care Security Ordinance is pre-empted by ERISA. Justice Kennedy gave the city of San Francisco until 5pm next Wednesday to respond. The reason this case is noteworthy is that a number of states have recently adopted similar legislation.

SCOTUSblog provides a good summary of the case here.

Prof. Edward A. Zelinsky provides a good discussion of the issues in this case in his recent article, Golden Gate Restaurant Association: Employer Mandates and ERISA Preemption in the Ninth Circuit, available through SSRN.
