Continuity for Operators with Necessary Training Required for ATC Contract Towers Act of 2021 or the CONTRACT Act of 2021 This bill exempts certain air traffic controllers from a required reduction in their retirement annuity payment on account of earnings from certain work performed while entitled to such annuity.

Such annuity payment is required to be reduced by a certain percentage of any excess earnings during this period. The bill exempts from such reduction in annuity payments an air traffic controller who participates in the Air Traffic Control Contract Program (a public-private partnership for air traffic control services) following mandatory retirement.

Specifically, the bill expands soring regulation and enforcement at horse shows, exhibitions, sales, and auctions, including by establishing a new system for inspecting horses for soring. In addition, the bill increases penalties for violations.
This bill treats certain price protection payments from Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) as eligible rollover distributions (i.e., tax-free distributions from a qualified retirement plan to another eligible plan). Price protection payments are made under a price protection agreement and provide a guaranteed minimum price for shares that may temporarily decline in value as a result of loans to the ESOP to purchase shares. The bill treats price protection payments made after December 12, 2019, for plan years ending before January 1, 2023, as eligible rollover distributions if payments were made pursuant to a price protection agreement for distributions due to separation from service, retirement, death or disability. For plan years beginning after 2022, payments made under a price protection agreement as a result of any separation of service of a plan participant (regardless of the reason for such separation) would be eligible for rollover.
