With the state legislative veto session upon us, lawmakers have an opportunity to do something good for small businesses in Illinois and their employees. They have the opportunity to vote yes on Senate Bill 2758 – a bill that will promote private savings and give small businesses in our state a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

SB2758 - the Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program – is a commonsense solution that will give small businesses the opportunity to provide a retirement account for their employees. Across the country, nearly 80% of small business employees don’t have access to a retirement savings plan at work (compared to only 22% of large business employees). Senate Bill 2758 will help to level the playing field for small businesses, giving them the opportunity to more effectively attract and retain qualified workers in a competitive hiring market.

So, what are small businesses saying about SB2758?

“Secure Choice is a win-win for the financial industry and the community.”
-Martin Cabrera Jr of Cabrera Capital (Chicago)

“[Secure Choice] allows me to attract and retain quality employees as well as provide an added value without the added burden and expenses levied on small businesses.”
Excell Lewis of XL Academics (Rockford)

AARP is proud to stand with small businesses across the state who support the Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program and we urge lawmakers to vote YES on Senate Bill 2758.
