This week the House Education and the Workforce Committee is scheduled to mark up legislation (H.R. 4293, the “Affordable Retirement Advice Protection Act” and H.R. 4294, the “Strengthening Access to Valuable Education and Retirement Support Act”) that, in the name of providing a more “workable” alternative to the Department of Labor’s proposed fiduciary rule would actually weaken existing protections for retirement savers.  CFA is urging members of the committee to vote no on this misguided bill.
