Legislation has been introduced that would provide relief to nonprofit organizations like Girl Scouts of the USA, which now have higher pension funding rules than taxable, for-profit companies.
The bipartisan Charitable Flexibility Act, sponsored by U.S. Reps. Susan Brooks, R-Ind., and Ron Kind, D-Wis., was developed in collaboration with the Girl Scouts and enables charities with affiliates, such as universities and nonprofit hospitals, to opt-in early, starting next year, to the pension funding rules that cover corporate plans.
The legislation applies to charity pension plans with multiple entities that are exempt from normal pension funding rules until 2017. The bill would permit such plans to elect into the normal rules in 2014. A technical correction that previously passed the Senate would have permitted this same option.
