Allstate Amicus Brief Task Force The Health Care Law Section was invited to file an amicus curiae
brief with respect to the Miller vs. Allstate Insurance Company and PT
Works, Inc. matter. To determine how we can best represent the broad
and diverse interests of the Section, the Council filed a brief with
input from the Council, the Legislation Committee of the Council, the
Amicus Brief Work Group, and Section members. VSP Amicus Brief Task Force The Council formed the VSP Task Force to keep track of developments surrounding the Vision Service Plan v. United States of America case affecting tax exemption law and to consider: (1) filing an amicus brief on the merits should the United States Supreme Court grant certiorari to hear the case; and (2) participating in a white paper on the subject to the Internal Revenue Service. If you are interested in joining this Task Force, please contact Ann Hollenbeck at ahollenbeck@honigman.com.
