California Proposes Annuity and 403(b) Protections (#263)

SB 263 — which could be a model for other states — will decrease the number of sales of life insurance and annuities to consumers that are not in consumers' best interests by prohibiting insurance producers from receiving incentives beyond allowable commissions or fees (such as prizes, rent reimbursement, etc.) for their sales and also prohibiting producers from making sales when they do not know if the product is in the consumer's best interest. Bill also covers sale of life insurance products.  SB 263 Insurance Agent (Producer) Compensation Disclosure For Annuities and Life Insurance Policies Form Learned by Being Burned (short pod series that explains why the K-12 403(b) is so bad and what teachers are doing to fix it) Meridian Wealth Management 403bwise.org
