From the link:

> Under this legislation, large employers are defined as employers who have more than 500 employees, including part -time workers, independent contractors and franchise workers.

I'm not an expert in legalese (and this isn't the legislation itself), but the last two words imply that McDonald Corporate would be on the hook for franchisee's employee's food stamps.

Thanks for pointing that out, that seems to patch up that rather large hole in the proposed legislation.
