The purpose of this legislation, known as the ERISA Litigation Reform Act, is to make changes to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The main goal is to strengthen the standards for how claims against fiduciaries of retirement plans are presented in court. This aims to reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits and clarify the responsibilities of plaintiffs when alleging wrongdoing by fiduciaries. Key provisions of the Act include new requirements for plaintiffs who claim that a fiduciary has caused a retirement plan to engage in illegal transactions.
