AI Summary

This bill, the SIMPLE Plan Modernization Act, aims to promote retirement savings for small business employees by making improvements to SIMPLE retirement accounts (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) and easing the transition from a SIMPLE plan to a 401(k) plan. Key provisions include increasing the contribution limit for SIMPLE IRAs, allowing certain larger employers to elect higher employer matching and nonelective contributions, providing a 2-year grace period for employers that grow beyond the small business threshold, and allowing employers to replace SIMPLE retirement accounts with safe harbor 401(k) plans during the plan year. The bill also includes provisions to collect data on SIMPLE and 401(k) plans for reporting purposes and waives the 2-year withdrawal limitation for employees transitioning from a SIMPLE plan to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan.
