EBSA Investigations Transparency Act
This bill requires the Employee Benefit Security Administration (EBSA) to submit an annual report to Congress detailing its investigations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The report must include the office opening each investigation, start dates, document request dates, and whether investigations concluded within 36 months - without revealing private party identities like plan sponsors or participants. It directly affects EBSA (the agency conducting investigations) and Congress (the recipient of the reports). The key mechanism is mandating transparency about investigation timelines and status, while protecting privacy of involved parties. The report must clarify when investigations are officially closed, including cases where investigation topics evolve.
