The expected implementation date was March 28, 2021, but the program was allowed up to one year extension due to COVID-19. The current deadline to begin implementation is March 28, 2022, with nine months from the start date to complete the roll out, though an official schedule has not been announced. Similar plans in other states rolled out their programs in phases – 100+ employees, 50+ employees and 25+ employees – each with different qualified implementation periods.
