HR 761/S270: Pension and Budget Integrity Act of 2017 - This bill prohibits provisions that increase or extend an increase of Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) premiums from being counted as an offset to determine budget points of order for legislation in the House or the Senate. H.R.854 Retirement Security for American Workers Act: This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to modify the qualification requirements for certain multiple employer retirement plans. A multiple employer plan that meets certain criteria may not be disqualified or otherwise lose its tax-favored status because one or more participating employers fail to take actions required with respect to the plan. The bill applies to a multiple employer defined contribution plan or a plan that consists of Individual Retirement Accounts that either: (1) is sponsored by employers that both have a common interest other than having adopted the plan and control the plan, or (2) have a pooled plan provider. The bill does not apply unless the terms of the plan require a noncompliant employer to, subject to the discretion of the Internal Revenue Service, (1) transfer assets of the plan attributable to the employees of the noncompliant employer to other specified retirement plans, and (2) be liable for plan liabilities attributable to employees of the noncompliant employer. For the purposes of this bill, a defined contribution plan that is established or maintained for the purpose of providing benefits to the employees of two or more employers and that meets certain requirements (a pooled employer plan) is treated for the purposes of ERISA as a single plan that is a multiple employer plan. The bill modifies reporting requirements under ERISA that apply to pooled employer and multiple employer plans. H.R.1688 /S.695: This bill requires the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Labor to cooperate to modify specified returns required for deferred compensation plans and other employee benefit plans to permit all members of a group of plans to file a single aggregated annual return or report satisfying the requirements of both the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). H.R.1962/S852: Retirement Security Preservation Act of 2017 - This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to modify the nondiscrimination requirements for certain defined benefit retirement plans that limit participation or certain features to a closed class, such as individuals who were hired before a certain date. H.R.2055/S.868: Lifetime Income Disclosure Act - This bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to require pension benefit statements to include a lifetime income disclosure at least once during any 12-month period. S. 1321: The Affordable Retirement Advice Protection Act, The bill outlines a best interest standard as an alternative to the DOL fiduciary rule. H.R. 2823: The Affordable Retirement Advice for Savers Act - The bill would overturn the DOL fiduciary rule while requiring financial advisors to act in their clients best interest. The bill would also implement disclosure requirements to improve transparency. H.R.3596 - This bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to: (1) modify the formula that the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) uses to calculate the funded percentage of single-employer pension plans, and (2) reduce single-employer PBGC premiums for pension plans that are sponsored by certain small employers or have specified PBGC funded percentages. H.R.3857 - The Protecting Advice For Small Savers (PASS) Act Of 2017. repeal the Department of Labor (DOL) fiduciary rule, create a best interest standard for broker-dealers, requires broker-dealers to disclose compensation they receive and any conflict of interest that exists, limit U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule making authority under Section 913 of Dodd-Frank, prevent Department of Treasury and DOL from promulgating fiduciary regulations on broker-dealers under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and preempts state laws avoiding a patchwork of standards. HR. 4158: Retirement Plan Modernization Act - This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to increase from $5,000 to $7,600 the amount of accrued benefits in a pension plan that may be immediately distributed without the consent of the participant. The bill also requires the increased limit to be adjusted for inflation after 2018. H.R.4523: The bill would permit unrelated employers to participate in a MEP; relieve employers with 100 or fewer employees of fiduciary duty if they participate in a MEP offered by a provider that agrees to assume fiduciary responsibility and meets certain other requirements; and retirement plan mandate. H.R.4524: "Retirement Plan Simplification and Enhancement Act of 2017" - To expand retirement coverage, preserve retirement income, simplify rules related to retirement plans. H.R.4604: "Increasing Access to a Secure Retirement Act of 2017" - Standalone annuity selection safe harbor H.R.4610: "Receiving Electronic Statements To Improve Retiree Earnings Act" - This bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code to authorize the electronic delivery of pension plan documents required to be furnished to a plan participant, beneficiary, or other individual. H.R.4637: "SAVE Act of 2017" - To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to encourage retirement savings by modifying requirements with respect to employer-established IRAs.

H.R.854 Retirement Security for American Workers Act: This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to modify the qualification requirements for certain multiple employer retirement plans.

H.R.1962/S852: Retirement Security Preservation Act of 2017 - This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to modify the nondiscrimination requirements for certain defined benefit retirement plans that limit participation or certain features to a closed class, such as individuals who were hired before a certain date. H.R.2055/S.868: Lifetime Income Disclosure Act - This bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to require pension benefit statements to include a lifetime income disclosure at least once during any 12-month period.

The bill would also implement disclosure requirements to improve transparency. H.R.3596 - This bill amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to: (1) modify the formula that the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) uses to calculate the funded percentage of single-employer pension plans, and (2) reduce single-employer PBGC premiums for pension plans that are sponsored by certain small employers or have specified PBGC funded percentages. H.R.3857 - The Protecting Advice For Small Savers (PASS) Act Of 2017. repeal the Department of Labor (DOL) fiduciary rule, create a best interest standard for broker-dealers, requires broker-dealers to disclose compensation they receive and any conflict of interest that exists, limit U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule making authority under Section 913 of Dodd-Frank, prevent Department of Treasury and DOL from promulgating fiduciary regulations on broker-dealers under The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and preempts state laws avoiding a patchwork of standards. HR. 4158: Retirement Plan Modernization Act - This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to increase from $5,000 to $7,600 the amount of accrued benefits in a pension plan that may be immediately distributed without the consent of the participant. The bill also requires the increased limit to be adjusted for inflation after 2018. H.R.4523: The bill would permit unrelated employers to participate in a MEP; relieve employers with 100 or fewer employees of fiduciary duty if they participate in a MEP offered by a provider that agrees to assume fiduciary responsibility and meets certain other requirements; and retirement plan mandate. H.R.4524: "Retirement Plan Simplification and Enhancement Act of 2017" - To expand retirement coverage, preserve retirement income, simplify rules related to retirement plans.
