Retirement: other; retirement program for certain nonpublic employees to participate in a benefit plan; create, and provide oversight. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0808'26
SB 807 creates the Michigan Secure Retirement Savings Program, requiring certain employers without existing retirement plans to automatically enroll eligible employees (ages 18+ with Michigan wages) in a payroll-deducted retirement savings plan. The program establishes a separate trust fund outside the state treasury for individual retirement accounts, meeting federal IRA standards, while employers must set up payroll deductions for participation. It also creates an administrative fund to cover program costs, funded by state allocations, grants, and other sources. The law mandates automatic enrollment (with opt-out options) for employees at qualifying employers, aiming to provide low-cost, portable retirement savings for workers who lack access to employer-sponsored plans.

MINOR
The bill was amended to remove a specific requirement for the board to design separate background information packets for employers and employees before the program opens. The change also rephrased the language regarding the board's responsibility to define the contents of these information packets, shifting from a strict design mandate to a broader authority to establish the packet contents. These modifications streamline the administrative setup of the retirement savings program by reducing prescriptive formatting requirements for the informational materials provided to participants.
REQUIREMENT
Deleted the specific mandate that the board must design separate employer and employee information packets prior to program enrollment.
Changed the language regarding the board's authority over information packets from a design requirement to a directive to provide for the contents of the packets.
