    State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Former Senator Kevin de León, and Other Leaders to Launch CalSavers Retirement Program Monday

    Sacramento – On Monday, July 1, State Treasurer Fiona Ma and former Senator Kevin de León will launch CalSavers, a pioneering state retirement savings program that will give access to more than 7 million working Californians who currently lack a workplace plan. De León, the former State Senate President Pro Tem, authored SB 1234 that created CalSavers. Members of the governing board and stakeholder leaders will also be present.

    SB 1234 requires that all employers with five or more employees who don’t already offer a retirement plan to either begin offering a qualified plan from the private market or register for CalSavers in accordance with a series of staggered deadlines that rolls out over the next three years. Following a successful pilot program launched in November 2018, Monday is the first day that an estimated 250,000 employers can begin signing up.

    WHO: Treasurer Fiona Ma, former Senator Kevin de León, the first CalSavers employers—Lorenzo and Yolanda Harris—owners of Janico Building Services, CalSavers Executive Director Katie Selenski, CalSavers Board Members, and other leaders.

    DATE: July 1, 2019

    TIME: 10 a.m.

    LOCATION: State Treasurer’s Office, Traffic Circle, 915 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814
