# Rules Committee Hearing H.R. 1013

The House Rules Committee held a hearing on November 10, 2026, and considered a rule for H.R. 1013, the Retirement Fairness for Charities and Educational Institutions Act of 2025. The bill would allow 403(b) retirement plans serving teachers and nonprofit employees to access collective investment trusts and insurance-company separate accounts, options proponents said could lower investment costs and bring 403(b) plans closer to 401(k) plans. Supporters cited the Financial Services Committee’s 43–8 vote to report the bill; opponents raised concerns about disclosure, fiduciary protections, conflicts of interest, and investment risks, and supported amendments to add disclosures or limit the bill’s scope.

The Rules Committee rejected both proposed rule amendments, including amendments offered by Representatives Waters and Lynch, then approved the motion to report the rule by a 7–3 vote. The rule provides for one hour of general debate and one motion to recommit. No procurement, contract award, or purchasing activity was identified.
