After years of discussing major retirement plan changes, Congress seems poised to act. On May 23, 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (H.R. 1994) — the SECURE Act — with broad bipartisan support in a 417-3 vote. The retirement plan industry also strongly supports the SECURE Act. The SECURE Act was sponsored by the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., with bipartisan co-sponsors.
Holland & Hart’s Brenda Berg provides a preview of the retirement plan changes that could become law with the House’s passage of the SECURE Act in the article titled “A Preview Of The Retirement Plan That Could Become Law,” published May 29 by Law360.
