The 2012 general elections scheduled for Tuesday, November 6, 2012, will dramatically impact the legal rules governing health care benefits, retirement benefits, and executive compensation. The outcome of Presidential, congressional, and gubernatorial races will determine who will shape and implement critical tax and benefit policies impacting employers' benefit and compensation plans.

As Republicans try to regain control of the Senate, Democrats hope to win seats in the GOP-controlled House, and the Presidential candidates vie for electoral votes, the winners of the 2012 elections and the lame ducks who continue in office until 2013 will decide how to address the fiscal cliff, the budget deficit, underfunded state and local pensions, and the 2013 and 2014 deadlines of the Affordable Care Act.

This is a timely program for those who need to know what's coming in benefits law and regulation, including general counsel, benefits and executive compensation professionals, chief financial officers, and government relations specialists.

Join Stephanie A. Kennan, Senior Vice President of McGuireWoods  Consulting, Steven D. Kittrell, Partner, and James P. McElligott, Jr., Partner, of McGuireWoods LLP as they discuss how the November elections will shift the political and regulatory landscape that impacts these critical national policies. The presentation will include:

  • The new policy makers in Washington and what employers can anticipate
  • The future of Affordable Health Act implementation or repeal
  • Tax changes to retirement and health plans possible under a "grand bargain" to address the deficit
  • The 2013 players to watch in the Administration, the Senate, and the House
  • Potential changes in executive compensation
  • How DOL ERISA enforcement, IRS regulations, HIPAA Privacy and Security, and PBGC enforcement and regulations will be impacted
  • Chances for a bailout of underfunded state and local pensions
