The Appropriations Committee voted Monday night to block a proposal allowing small businesses to come together and access quality, affordable health insurance.
“This session, legislators had an opportunity to make a meaningful impact and send a message that they’re truly invested in small businesses and their employees,” said CBIA president and CEO Chris DiPentima.
