The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has taken new steps to delay the full applicability date of its fiduciary rule and related exemptions, according to recent court filings.  If the DOL’s intended delay comes to fruition, which is not certain, requirements that are currently delayed until January 1, 2018 will be further delayed 18 months until July 1, 2019.
