Reg. 23338 (April 3, 2024)). The rule was published by the Internal Revenue Service, the Employee Benefits Security Administration, and the Department of Health and Human Services.

The bill was introduced on January 14, 2025, by Representative Earl Carter of Georgia with multiple cosponsors and was referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, Education and Workforce, and Ways and Means.
