The proposed rule changes to the Section 529 Plan rules will implement changes to the law that will now allow plan participants to roll funds over to a ROTH account. Additionally, the rule changes will implement the prohibition on investing in Chinese owned companies included in Act 937 of 2025.
A public hearing was held on December 5, 2025. The public comment period expired on December 7, 2025. The agency indicated it did not receive any public comments. Camille Fleming, an attorney with the Bureau of Legislative Research, asked the following questions: 1. QUESTION: 6 CAR § 560-102(31): The definition “rollover to Roth or individual retirement account” was added to this rule. I see that this language was likely mirrors Acts 2025, No. 802. However, the definition used in the act is titled “Rollover to Roth individual retirement account”, which does not include the “or” mentioned in the rule’s definition. Is there a reason these terms differ? RESPONSE: The Committee agreed to remove the definition as unnecessary. 2. QUESTION: 6 CAR § 560-103(b)(1)(D): This new language references “guidelines” that the Section 529 Plan Review Committee has established. Are these guidelines accessible to the public? RESPONSE: The “guidelines” refers to the Committee’s investment policy. It is available to the public upon request but is not posted online at this time.
