A Brief Overview of Title IV of the SECURE Act of 2017
Identical to the BRIDGE Act & Shares Its Flaws
By Andrew R. Arthur on December 7, 2017
On December 5, 2017, Sens. Grassley, Cornyn, Tillis, Lankford, Cotton, and Purdue filed the ''Security, Enforcement, and Compassion United in Reform Efforts Act'' (SECURE Act of 2017), S. 2192. That bill contains many positive provisions, but there are also a number of problematic sections that will need to be amended in markup.
In particular, Title IV of that bill is identical to S. 128, the "Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy" Act or "BRIDGE Act", which was sponsored by Sens. Graham, Durbin, Murkowski, Feinstein, Flake, Schumer, and Harris in January 2017, and unfortunately shares its flaws.
