On December 29, the President signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, which included the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 (“SECURE 2.0”).

Congress to Adjourn for Upcoming Election: Post-Election Lame Duck Session Likely | At the moment, Congress is in the midst of an impasse to enact a funding resolution to provide monies to keep the federal government running - and avoid a government shutdown - after the current funding expires at the end of the fiscal year, which is this coming Friday, September 30.
