Retirement Program for Nonpublic Employees

Current understanding

Michigan SB0807 (passed chamber) would create a new act establishing a state-facilitated retirement benefit program allowing certain nonpublic (private-sector) employees to participate in a benefit plan, with associated oversight provisions. The bill is tie-barred with SB0808, suggesting a companion measure handles related implementation details. For workers at private employers that do not currently offer retirement benefits, this would open access to a state-overseen plan; for employers, it may create new participation or facilitation obligations.
