Regulatory and Legislative Update
Thursday, March 25, 2021

Presented by Bob Radecki, Principal, and Regan Debban, J.D, MBA, Principal

The new administration is expected to issue some executive orders and make some regulatory changes to rules that affect employee benefits plans. Congress may also include benefits-related provisions in any COVID-19 relief measures it passes. In this webinar, we will review any changes already made and discuss proposed regulatory and legislative changes.
