Retirement Options by Anna Costello-Dougherty, Aug 12, 2008 (7:54pm)

This bill would require small businesses to provide employees with automatic deposit IRAs if the business does not offer other retirement plans to employees. Businesses with less than 100 employees will receive a tax credit to offset additional costs as a result of this requirement.

This bill provides hope for the younger generations who are no longer provided with retirement 401(k)s thus averting a future retirement crisis.
