S. 1302
Cooperative and Small Employer Charity Pension Flexibility Act
As reported by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
on October 30, 2013
SUMMARY
S. 1302 would make changes to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code to alter the funding requirements of certain private
pension plans that are maintained by more than one employer where the employers are
either cooperatives or charities. CBO estimates that enacting S. 1302 would increase
offsetting receipts (which are recorded as an offset to direct spending) by $33 million over
the 2014-2023 period. The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that
enacting the bill would increase revenues by $145 million over the 2014-2023 period. In
total, CBO and JCT estimate that enacting S. 1302 would reduce deficits by $178 million
over the 2014-2023 period. (Of that total, $12 million in budgetary savings would stem
from changes in Social Security revenues, which are classified as off-budget.)
Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct
spending and revenues. Implementing the bill would not have a significant effect on
discretionary spending.
JCT and CBO have determined that S. 1302 contains no intergovernmental or
private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and
would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of 5. 1302 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within budget function 600 (income security).
