Petition of the day

Thepetition of the day is:

Issue: (1) Whether a state law that imposes new reporting, payment, recordkeeping, and audit requirements on ERISA plan administrators that arise directly from their processing of welfare benefit claims pursuant to ERISA relate[s] to ERISA benefit plans and is therefore preempted under Section 514(a); and (2) whether the broad preemption language in Section 514(a) can be judicially narrowed to accommodate a presumption against preemption of newly minted state laws that seek to exploit the core functions of ERISA plan administrators.
