Office of Administrative Law (OAL) Approved and Secretary of State Endorsed the amendment to CCR section 599.943. Modifications Originally Noticed December 2, 2022, and re-noticed on November 1, 2023.
The proposed amendment modifies California Code of Regulations section 599.943 to recognize that a different requirement applies to the California Department of Human Resources, "CalHR," which does not specifically follow the state's standard competitive bid process. This amendment allows the Savings Plus Program to comply with the state's competitive bidding process and enables the program to be more nimble when needed.

Office of Administrative Law (OAL) Approved and Secretary of State Endorsed the amendment to CCR section 599.942. Modifications Originally Noticed December 2, 2022, and re-noticed on October 20, 2023.
The proposed amendment to CCR section 599.942 broadens the scope of the regulation to align with the applicable Government Code section. Until 2019, Savings Plus was statutorily required to offer specific investment options, including annuity products. Senate Bill 1504 (Chapter 903, Statutes of 2018), amended the requirement and granted Savings Plus “exclusive authority to determine the investment products provided in the core portfolio, specifying “a broad range of investment options" as well as a brokerage option be offered (Gov. Code, section 19993.05, subd. (b).) This section is known as the Freedom of Financial Choice Act. CCR section 599.942 reflected the outdated statutory requirements and was amended to reflect current statute.

15- Day Notice of Modification of Text to CCR Section 599.943 Contract Bidding Process; Modifications Originally Noticed December 2, 2022
The proposed modification is to CalHR rulemaking file, #2023-0609-04S, regarding the Savings Plus Program (SPP) Contract Bidding Process. It was originally noticed to the OAL on December 2, 2022. The proposed amendment allows SPP to comply with the state's competitive bidding process and for the program to be nimbler when needed. In cases where there is a high risk of a contractor losing assets or being unable to fulfill the duties outlined in the original agreement, SPP should be allowed to employ a modified competitive search process for selecting a replacement contractor to manage program assets or effectively handle the original agreement's duties. This flexibility allows the SPP to meet its fiduciary obligations and safeguard program assets. The amended version of the documents can be found at the link to the 15- Day Notice of Modified Text and include- The Text of Regulation, the Updated Initial Statement of Reason, Public Contract Code (PCC) 10295, PCC 10344.1, PCC 10430, Department of General Services State Contracting Manual Volume 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 5. Amendments are technical in nature; however, all are available for public inspection and comment. CalHR will accept written comments based on these proposed changes from November 1, 2023 to November 17, 2023.
