Government Affairs Update from NECA
|
After months of development, House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline released a discussion draft of NECA-supported multiemployer pension reform legislation authorizing the use of Composite Plans. Introduction of the discussion draft has been a long time coming. NECA has been advocating for passage of Composite Plans since 2013. While similar language authorizing Composite Plans was set for inclusion in the original Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014, it was taken out at the last minute. Chairman Kline pledged to move forward with this legislation to Congress, and NECA will continue to work with him to ensure there will be strong bipartisan support to get this bill passed before the end of the year.
