Best-interest contract could be casualty of DOL fiduciary rule delay
The part of the Labor Department's fiduciary rule that has heartened supporters and caused heartburn for opponents, the best-interest contract, could become a casualty of the ongoing reassessment of the rule.
The DOL said last week in a court filing in a lawsuit over the regulation that it is seeking an 18-month delay in the implementation of the remaining parts of the rule. Two provisions became applicable in June.
The time-out will give the agency plenty of opportunity to undo the contract, which backers of the rule say gives it bite. Critics say it is too complicated and raises liability costs.
