DOL Secretary Resigns

On Jan. 9, 2013, Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Hilda Solis announced her resignation from the agency. Since her confirmation in 2009, the DOL has stepped up its regulatory and enforcement activities in a number of different areas. The resignation comes on the heels the Department’s long delayed regulatory agenda. Currently, there is no consensus frontrunner to take the helm at DOL. AGC will continue to monitor the confirmation process of a new Secretary and possible initiatives that could impact the industry.
