S 2025 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the 401(k) CORE plan

This bill modifies the Massachusetts 401(k) CORE plan, a retirement savings program for small businesses with 20 or fewer employees. It removes the current employee count limit, allowing more small businesses to participate, and authorizes the state treasurer to seek private donations or grants to lower the plan's operating costs. These changes aim to expand access to retirement savings for smaller employers while reducing the financial burden on the program through external funding.
