Call to Action - Oppose IL Effort to Eliminate 403(b) Market Competition

The Illinois legislature has introduced a bill (HB 5495) that would, in effect, require public school districts to eliminate investment options in their 403(b) plans. The bill states that "The intent of this legislation is for the plan sponsor to consolidate to a single provider." The bill has already passed the Illinois House unanimously and is currently being reviewed by the Illinois Senate.

Independent financial advisors provide valuable advice, products and services to Illinois 403(b) plan participants. HB 5495 would deprive these investors of access to your services. As a result, we are calling on our members to take action now.
