AI Summary

Specifically, it applies to contributions made to plans established under sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, annuity contracts for government and nonprofit employees under section 403(b), deferred compensation plans for state and local governments under section 457, the federal Thrift Savings Plan, and standard Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) that qualify for federal tax deductions. This change will be effective for contributions made or premiums paid in taxable years beginning on or after January 1st of the year following the bill's enactment.
