SUMMARY:Municipal Drone Programs: FAA Legal Requirements and How to Protect the Public\, Your Program\, & Your Personnel
DESCRIPTION:On June 18\, Jen Yoxall will present “Municipal Drone Programs: FAA Legal Requirements and How to Protect the Public\, Your Program\, & Your Personnel” for the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities. \nAbout the Program  \nDrones are becoming recognized as indispensable tools for public safety operations. As a result\, many towns and cities now own and operate their own. But having a drone program brings new responsibilities. \nDrones used for municipal purposes are aircraft operating in the National Airspace System. Drone programs can expose municipalities to liability – potentially significant – from personal injury or property damage lawsuits as well as Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) enforcement actions. Running a successful drone program means complying with FAA regulations that are unfamiliar to many people. And it means running the program in a way that doesn’t compromise governmental immunity or insurance coverage. \nThis presentation will explain the three different legal frameworks for operating a drone program along with the pros and cons of each\, outline the basic elements of a safe program\, provide an overview of applicable FAA regulations\, and highlight the most likely ways to inadvertently jeopardize the liability protections typically available to municipal departments and individual employees. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:New DOL Electronic Disclosure Rules for ERISA-Covered Retirement Plans: Critical Next Steps and Legal Ramifications
DESCRIPTION:Attorney Tim Klimpl will co-present “New DOL Electronic Disclosure Rules for ERISA-Covered Retirement Plans: Critical Next Steps and Legal Ramifications” for Strafford Publications. \nAbout the Program \nOn May 21\, 2020\, the DOL issued final regulations for electronic disclosures for retirement plans and an alternative safe harbor method of delivery by administrators. Employee benefits counsel must have a complete understanding of the application of the new rules and related compliance issues to avoid missteps and potential claims. \nThe final regulations and new safe harbor does not replace the DOL e-disclosure rules of the 2002 regulations but instead provides a broader scope for disclosure of plan documentation. The application of the new rules to retirement plans presents several administrative issues and compliance pitfalls due to stringent requirements and limitations. \nERISA counsel\, fiduciaries\, and administrators must adhere to strict notice requirements\, delivery methods\, rights of participants\, and necessary procedures upon severance. \nListen as the panel discusses critical provisions of the new DOL rules for electronic disclosures for ERISA-covered retirement plans and offers best practices to minimize potential legal ramifications for fiduciaries and plan administrators. \nClick here to register.
