For legislation relative to the SMART Plan. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to make changes to the SMART Plan, the state's deferred compensation program. The key provisions include: 1. Replacing the term "independent contractors" with "contracted employees" in the law governing the SMART Plan. 2. Allowing the state treasurer to adopt annual budgets for the SMART Plan, including salaries for treasury employees working on the program, which can be funded from the program's administrative expense account. These employees will be members of the state retirement system. 3. Authorizing the state treasurer to establish an automatic enrollment feature for the SMART Plan, which would apply to new state and local government employees, with certain parameters around contribution limits, opt-out provisions, and default investment options.
