Thom Tillis proves he is for Big Business only
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced that he is co-sponsoring the Forty Hours Is Full Time Act, S.30, to require the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to define a “full-time employee” as someone who works 40 hours per week, not 30 hours per week as currently defined by the IRS under President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. This 30 hour definition has forced many employers to cut work schedules for many workers in North Carolina in order to keep up with the costs of the President’s health care law.

“We’ve said all along North Carolina voters deserve to have their voices heard, and this important issue won’t ever be settled until a final decision is made by the U.S. Supreme Court,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham). “Today’s petition is the most efficient and cost-effective way to reach a final resolution.”
“Regardless of where you stand on the ultimate issue, it is important to protect the will of the North Carolina voters who overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment,” said House Speaker-Designee Tim Moore (R-Cleveland).
