house 04/17/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to increase transparency around the Department of Labor’s involvement in legal actions by requiring annual reports on agreements where the agency provides assistance against employee benefit plans. This aims to ensure fairness and protect the voluntary sponsorship of private pension plans that support employees’ retirement security.

More reports? Great, because bureaucrats haven’t ruined pensions enough already.
