(a) General rule.--A financial institution or pension management organization entering into a written agreement under section 8411 (relating to powers and duties of board) may offer or provide services to any plan established or maintained by a school district under IRC § 403(b) or 457 if the written agreement for the administration of the School Employees' Defined Contribution Plan is not combined with any other written agreement for the administration of a school district's 403(b) plan or 457 plan. Each school district that provides a 403(b) plan shall make available, in the manner provided by subsection (c), to participants, multiple financial institutions or pension management organizations that have not entered into a written agreement to section 8411 and which provide services to the school district's 403(b) plan or 457 plan.

(b) Plan transparency and administration.--A financial institution or pension management organization providing services for any plan established or maintained by a school district under IRC § 403(b) or 457 shall:

(1) enter into an agreement with the school district or the school district's independent compliance administrator that shall require the financial institution or pension management organization to provide in an electronic format all data necessary for the administration of the 403(b) plan or 457 plan as determined by the school district or the school district's compliance administrator; and

(2) provide all data required by the school district or a school district's compliance administrator to facilitate disclosure of all fees, charges, expenses, commissions, compensation and payments to third parties related to investments offered under the 403(b) plan or 457 plan.

(c) Provider selection.--A school district that establishes or maintains a plan under IRC § 403(b) or 457 shall select a minimum of four financial institutions or pension management organizations, in addition to the financial institution or pension management organization that entered into an agreement under section 8411, to provide services to the 403(b) plan or 457 plan. If fewer than four such additional financial institutions or pension management organizations are determined to be available or able to meet the requirements established in this section, then the school district shall select the number of available providers able to meet the school district's requirements. A financial institution or pension management organization shall be designated a 403(b) plan or 457 plan provider if the financial institution or pension management organization enters into an agreement in accordance with subsection (b).
