LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1006, as amended, Morrell. California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Trust Act. Occupational licensing: list.

Existing law establishes the Employment Development Department within the Labor and Workforce Development Agency to perform, among other things, job creation activities. Under existing law, various professions and vocations are required to be licensed and regulated by state entities, including, but not limited to, the boards, bureaus, and committees in the Department of Consumer Affairs.

Contingent on the appropriation of specified funds, this bill would require the Employment Development Department to establish and maintain a list of occupational licenses required by the State of California and would require the department to post the list on its Internet Web site.

Existing law, the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Trust Act, establishes the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Program, administered by the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Investment Board. Existing law requires the board, prior to opening the program for enrollment, to make a report to the Governor and Legislature affirming that certain requirements have been met, including that the program is structured in a manner to keep it from being classified as an employee benefit plan subject to the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Existing law prohibits the state from having liability for the payment of the retirement savings benefit earned by program participants and provides that the state and its funds are not obligated for the payment of benefits arising from the program.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provisions regarding the liability and obligations of the state, described above.
