California 403b Vendors Must Register

It appears that the State of Californina will require 403b vendors to register their products.

This means that going forward, any vendor that wants to offer its product in a 403(b) plan in the state of California must register with the new portal www.403bcompare.com -- and disclose on the site various fees and performance data.

Fees for vendors are based on the final number of registrations. Vendors will pay a one-time cost of $7,446, an annual $106 maintenance fee per vendor and an annual $128 administration fee per product, to cover the costs of creating and maintaining the site.

See www.403bcompare.com for details.
