Washington Update: You Thought 2012 Was Exciting? Wait Until You See What Washington Has In Store for 2013!
From tax reform that threatens to reduce the availability and utility of retirement plans to reviewing the very definition of an ERISA fiduciary, 2013 may be a year of fundamental change for retirement plans and IRAs. As if that isn't enough, 2013 will also bring us a flurry of activity by Federal and state regulators scrambling to implement health care reform, from setting up state exchanges to finalizing rules affecting the benefit requirements and penalties applicable to employers. Mr. Campbell will provide an overview of the legislation and regulations that could change the way your plans and plan clients operate, including tax reform, health reform, DOL's fiduciary regulation, new potential restrictions on IRA rollovers, and new rules on target date funds, lifetime income, brokerage windows, and more.
