On Jan. 18, the House passed a short term continuing resolution to fund the government through Feb. 16. Also included in that spending bill was a two-year delay of the 40 percent excise tax on employer-sponsored health plans, or “Cadillac Tax”, and a six-year reauthorization of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The two-year delay will push the implementation date of the “Cadillac Tax” to Jan. 1, 2022; and NAPO shows their support for the reintroduction of the National Public Safety Collective Bargaining Bill and Law Enforcement Bill of Rights.
