Senate Working to Overcome ‘Holds’ on Retirement Security Legislation
June 7, 2019
**
" Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is working to overcome the objections, but unless he can appease those senators, the legislation may have to go through regular order instead of being passed immediately by UC.
If that were to happen, the legislation would first have to go through the Senate Finance Committee. Chairman Grassley could start with the House-approved H.R. 1994, or he could substitute that bill for the Retirement Enhancement and Savings Act (RESA), which he and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) reintroduced in April. The two bills contain similar provisions.
Even if the legislation is cleared through the Finance Committee, however, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) may not allow for the legislation to come to the Senate floor unless it has been cleared by all members of his caucus first.
All in all, it still seems likely that the underlying retirement security legislation, including components of both RESA and the SECURE Act, will still be approved, but it may undergo a few changes – and may be slowed by several weeks, if not months, if it must go through the regular order process.
