As the 2009 session begins its final two weeks, there are several major bills that are of great importance to the business community that are still working their way through the process.  As anyone who follows the Legislature will tell you, anything can happen in the final days and hours.  AIF has created a special report that will provide members and their leaders some vital information on several of the most important issues businesses are facing.

These issues include:  Taxes, Workers’ Compensation, Property Insurance, Unemployment Compensation and Business Regulation.

This report is succinct and to the point and will outline in an easy-to-read format what the issue is, what it means to employers, and AIF’s current position on that issue.  There is even a “call to action” portion to each issue so that members can quickly determine what they can do to get involved. 

We encourage you to not only review this Special Report, but to pass it on to others in your company.  It has been especially written for those who are not in the Capitol every day and who may not hear the legislative “lingo” all the time.  After you read it, we also encourage you to stay tuned to the website at aif.com and follow the progress of these major issues on a daily basis.  Finally, we welcome any and all comments or questions from members on these issues at aif@aif.com.
