New York State Conservative Party Chair Michael R. Long, spoke at a recent roundtable held by the National Association of Security Companies (NASCO) -- focusing on the impact of the proposed Fair Share for Healthcare legislation that was introduced in New York and its potential impact on contract security.

The proposed legislation -- N.Y. Senate Bill 7990-Spano/Assembly Bill 10583-Gottfried -- also known nationwide as the Wal-Mart bill, seeks to assess companies employing 100 or more people, both full-time and part-time, a $3-an-hour fee to off-set state healthcare expenses.

"The Conservative Party, and most business-oriented organizations, oppose this legislation," said Long. "We have implemented a grassroots initiative to educate legislators regarding the negative impacts on employers and tax payers."


Participants discussed the sales tax levied throughout the state on security services -- a tax not normally applied to professional services such as security.
NASCO will form a New York chapter, in an effort to address issues impacting the 150,000 security officers employed in the state. Visit http://www.nasco.org for more information.
