AI Summary

This bill aims to provide immediate relief to businesses concerning their health care costs by amending Section 9 of Chapter 224 of the acts of 2012. Specifically, it proposes to change two provisions within that section: first, in paragraph 2 of subsection (b), it will replace the phrase "minus 0.5 per cent" with "minus 2 per cent," and second, in paragraph 3 of subsection (c), it will also replace "minus 0.5 per cent" with "minus 2 per cent." These changes are intended to adjust how certain health care financing calculations are made, potentially reducing the financial burden on businesses.
