The Department of Labor plans to repropose its controversial rule to amend the definition of fiduciary under ERISA "in several months," Phyllis Borzi, assistant secretary for the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration, told AdvisorOne on Friday.
Speaking briefly with AdvisorOne before she spoke at the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement's annual women's retirement symposium in Washington, Borzi said to expect a reproposal of the fiduciary rule early next year.
"We're not finished" with the rule, Borzi told WISER attendees. "When people see the reproposal, reasonable people with open minds will say [DOL] listened, that [DOL] addressed the legitimate issues that were raised in the long comment process." Added Borzi: "The reproposal will be better, clearer, more targeted and more reasonably balanced."
