(b) Employers shall not be a fiduciary, or considered to be a fiduciary, over the trust or the program. The program is a state-administered program, not an employer-sponsored program.

An employer shall not be liable with regard to investment returns, program design, and benefits paid to program participants.

(d) An employer shall not have civil liability, and no cause of action shall arise against an employer, for acting pursuant to the regulations prescribed by the board defining the roles and responsibilities of employers that have a payroll deposit retirement savings arrangement to allow employee participation in the program.
