HRS §88F-12

County deferred compensation plan for part-time, temporary, and seasonal workers

This section lets a county either join the state's deferred compensation plan for part-time, temporary, or seasonal workers, or set up its own plan following federal rules. A county's own plan does not have to follow this chapter's other rules, but the county alone runs it and the state board is not liable.

A plan so established under this section need not be subject to the other provisions of this chapter, but shall be in compliance with applicable federal laws and regulations. A plan established by a county under this section shall be the sole responsibility of and administered by that county.
