Congress Seeks to Block New Retirement Investment Protection Rule.

This resolution aims to nullify a Department of Labor rule that sought to tighten the definition of an investment advice fiduciary for retirement savings. If passed, investment advisors handling your retirement funds will not be required to meet the new, stricter standards designed to protect clients from conflicts of interest. This maintains the current rules regarding retirement advice.
Key points
The resolution seeks to disapprove the DOL rule defining who must act as a fiduciary when advising on retirement security.
Blocking the rule means that the existing standards for investment advisors handling 401(k)s and IRAs will remain in effect.
