Bill Summary · HB 1113

Legislative bill overview

HB 1113 proposes to exclude part-time students from membership in Georgia's defined contribution retirement plan. The bill modifies eligibility requirements for student participation in what appears to be a state-sponsored retirement savings program, restricting access to full-time students only.

Why is this important

This change affects retirement security planning for part-time student workers, potentially reducing their access to employer-sponsored retirement savings opportunities during their education. The modification could have long-term financial implications for part-time students, particularly those from lower-income backgrounds who may rely on part-time work to fund their education.

Potential points of contention

  • Equity concerns: Part-time students, who often work to pay for education, would lose retirement savings access while full-time students retain it, potentially widening financial disparities
  • Fiscal impact: The bill may reduce administrative burden and costs for the state retirement system, but could shift retirement security responsibility entirely to individual workers
  • Definitional clarity: The bill's definition of "part-time" versus "full-time" student status and how it's verified in practice remains subject to implementation questions
