title: A practical guide to preemption for self-insured plans.
abstract: This article discusses the circumstances under which federal law preempts state law regulating self-insured plans. In particular, the author describes four recent cases in which ERISA preemption was challenged, including relevant issues of debate and conclusions. The article points out that the decisions that result from such cases are contributing to the guidelines that states are developing to regulate ERISA plans.
