AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine Sen. Angus King is urging federal officials to streamline the reporting requirements for businesses under the federal health care law.

The independent senator sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew last week expressing his concerns about the burden on businesses under the current reporting requirements of the Affordable Care Act.

Under the law, businesses have to report things like the personal information of each of their full-time employees with health coverage.

King says it may be overwhelming for mid-size businesses that may not have the resources or personnel to comply.

King wants the federal government to scale back the reporting requirements and make sure the filing process is user-friendly.
