Few issues draw more bipartisan support than the notion that it’s good policy to encourage people to save more for retirement, and in a deeply divided Washington, House lawmakers hope to advance a bill to that end while eyeing other, more contentious changes to the retirement landscape.

In the coming weeks, backers of the Securing a Strong Retirement Act hope to bring the bill to a markup in the House Education and Labor Committee. That legislation, which has been dubbed the Secure Act 2.0 and follows on the heels of a bill of that name enacted in the last congress, could bring significant changes to employer-sponsored retirement plans.
