Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act This bill establishes the Pension Rehabilitation Administration within the Department of the Treasury and a related trust fund to make loans to certain multiemployer defined benefit pension plans. To receive a loan, a plan must be either in critical and declining status (including any plan with respect to which a suspension of benefits has been approved) or insolvent, if the plan became insolvent after December 16, 2014, and has not been terminated. Treasury must issue bonds to fund the loan program and transfer amounts equal to the proceeds to the trust fund established by this bill. The Pension Rehabilitation Administration may use the funds, without a further appropriation, to make loans, pay principal and interest on the bonds, or for administrative and operating expenses. The bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to allow the sponsor of a multiemployer pension plan that is applying for a loan under this bill to also apply to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) for financial assistance if, after receiving the loan, the plan will still become (or remain) insolvent within the 30-year period beginning on the date of the loan. The bill also appropriates to the PBGC the funds that are necessary to provide the financial assistance required by this bill.
These links require the bill number to appear in the filing's source-reported specific issue text. Client expenses and lobbying-firm income are separate disclosure fields.
Referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Ways and Means, and Appropriations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) lobbied in support of the Butch Lewis Act (S. 2147) and its companion legislation, the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act (H.R. 4444). The Butch Lewis Act would provide long-term, low-interest loans to distressed multiemployer defined benefit pension plans. The intended effect of this legislation is to protect the defined pensions of over one million retirees and active workers in the United States and maintain the long-term solvency of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). The IBEW is the sponsor of the second largest multiemployer defined benefit pension plan in the United States, the National Electrical Benefit Fund.
