Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Increase Retirement Plan Participation
The Improving Access to Retirement Savings Act is intended to open MEPs to 403(b) plans and more small businesses.
Three US senators have introduced legislation they say would make improvements to existing laws to help more organizations and small businesses participate in retirement plans, including multiple employer plans (MEPs) and pooled employer plans (PEPs).
Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Maggie Hassan, D-New Hampshire; and James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, say the Improving Access to Retirement Savings Act would build off the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act which was passed in late 2019 and help 403(b) plans, among other provisions. The legislation would allow 403(b)s to participate in MEPs.
