Purpose


The purpose and effect of this rule development is to amend language specifying the former federal standard under which an Account Owner may change the Investment Options with a reference to the relevant Internal Revenue Code provision anticipating further revisions to that Code provision; update Form numbers for the Participation Agreement and Terms and Conditions applicable to this change; rename the Maximum Account Balance to Maximum Account Contribution Limit to reflect the industry standard; and reduce the Maximum Account Contribution Limit from seven (7) times to five (5) times the most expensive annual qualified higher education expense to correspond to the safe harbor provision in the proposed Treasury Regulations.
