Retail Investor Protection Act
Oct. 29, 2013 | H.R. 2374
With the decline in traditional pensions, American workers are increasingly dependent on individual retirement savings accounts, like 401(k) accounts and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), for their income in retirement. The misnamed 'Retail Investor Protection Act' would prevent the Department of Labor and the Security and Exchange Commission from modernizing outdated rules so that financial advisors are prohibited from engaging in deceptive practices or conflicts of interest when they provide investment advice regarding individual retirement accounts. The bill passed.
This is Bad for working people.
