On October 31, 2023, the Department of Labor released its proposed “Retirement Security Rule” redefining who is an investment advice fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). The determination of who is a fiduciary is significant because many of the protections, duties, and liabilities of ERISA hinge on fiduciary status. The hearing will explore the necessity of the proposed rule, assess its alignment with existing regulations and legislative intent, and advocate for measures that enhance retirement security without creating unnecessary obstacles.
