American Benefits Council 20/20 Vision: The Legislative and Regulatory Landscape
As we approach the 2016 elections there are many legislative and regulatory attacks on the ability of employers to continue to offer meaningful benefits to employees. The American Benefits Council works with Congress and the regulatory agencies to protect and enhance employee benefit programs. This session will address the issues that are going to be particularly important to employers in the coming years. This session will cover:
· How the industry is working in Washington.
· Challenges to employee benefit plans.
· Opportunities to be involved in the advocacy arena.
· Recent compliance challenges.
