Identify a piece of U.S. legislation (local, state, or federal level) that has been introduced in the last five years, but has not passed, pertaining to employee benefits. Provide an overview of the legislation, including who sponsored it, when it was sponsored, and the positions of key stakeholders (e.g., employers, unions, special interest groups, state/local governments or agencies, general public, etc.).
Why do you think the legislation hasn't passed? How realistic is it to expect to see it, or something like it, passed in the near future? Support your explanations and discussion with substantive research, including links to appropriate sources of information on this proposed law.
