SF 4904 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Launch Account Contribution Program Act establishment

This bill establishes a new program allowing Minnesota state employees to redirect their employer matching contributions from a deferred compensation plan into a Launch Account, which is designed to help save for a child's future financial needs. The program would require the commissioner of management and budget to set up the system by July 4, 2026, and must be available to all state employees on equal terms. Employees could either contribute their own salary to the account or direct their employer's matching funds that would normally go to their retirement plan into this child-focused savings vehicle. The bill defines specific rules for opening accounts, including priority order for who can open an account for a child, and requires the program to follow federal tax code requirements for similar savings accounts.
