Summary of Bill HR 1895

Bill 119 HR 1895, also known as the "Butch Lewis Act of 2019," aims to increase the benefits guaranteed in connection with certain pension plans. The bill specifically targets multiemployer pension plans that are facing financial challenges and are at risk of insolvency.

This would provide greater financial security for retirees who rely on these pension plans for their retirement income. Overall, the Butch Lewis Act of 2019 seeks to address the growing crisis facing multiemployer pension plans and ensure that retirees receive the benefits they have earned. The bill has garnered bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a crucial step towards protecting the retirement security of millions of Americans.
