Unexpected Items: 1 provision
These provisions fall outside the bill’s main subject or apply narrowly. This describes the text; it is not a judgment.
Exception or delay for a subset (1)
- Sec. 3002: Exercise of shareholder rights: Adds a new ERISA subsection on exercising shareholder rights and proxy voting, and excludes from it voting, tender and similar rights for qualifying employer securities and for securities in investment arrangements that are not designated investment alternatives when rights are passed through to participants.
What it does
- Sec. 1002: Provides that a plan fiduciary acts solely in the interest of participants and beneficiaries on an investment only if the action is based solely on pecuniary factors, with exceptions for documented cases where pecuniary factors cannot distinguish between alternatives.
- Sec. 2002: Requires fiduciaries to select, monitor and retain any fiduciary, counsel, employee or service provider of the plan without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
- Sec. 3002: Provides that a fiduciary's duty to manage plan stock includes managing shareholder rights such as proxy voting, which must be done prudently and solely in the interests of participants and beneficiaries, without requiring every proxy to be voted.
- Sec. 3002: Allows a fiduciary to adopt a safe harbor proxy voting policy for decisions not to vote, including refraining from voting where plan assets invested in the issuer are below 5 percent of total plan assets.
- Sec. 4002: Requires that, before each investment directed into, out of or within a brokerage window or similar arrangement, the participant is notified of and acknowledges a four-part notice, including a graph of projected balances at age 67 at annual returns of 4, 6 and 8 percent.
- Sec. 4003: Requires the Comptroller General to report to Congress, not later than 2 years after enactment, comparing returns of brokerage-type investment arrangements with returns of other investment options in defined contribution plans.
