hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Adds national security to federal retirement fund (TSP) investment duties.
Mr. Fine, Mr. Harrigan, and Mr. Moran introduced it.
Introduced in House, no vote yet.
This bill makes it a formal duty for those managing the Thrift Savings Fund (TSP) to prevent investments and voting rights from harming U.S. national security. It also bans some investments in Chinese entities via the TSP mutual fund window. Representatives Fine, Harrigan, and Moran introduced the bill, and it currently awaits review by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Introduced Feb 4, 2026
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on February 4, 2026, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. For it to become law, it must pass through this committee, be voted on and passed by the full House, then pass the Senate, and finally be signed by the President.
If this bill passes, the federal board overseeing your TSP would be legally required to avoid investments that could harm national security, potentially altering the fund's investment options. The TSP mutual fund window would specifically prohibit investments in entities based in the People's Republic of China. Additionally, federal agencies would create new regulations and review processes for TSP investments and their voting rights, with annual reports sent to Congress, offering more insight into how your retirement funds are managed against national security concerns.
Supporters Say
Supporters believe the federal retirement fund should not undermine national security, especially given its beneficiaries are civil and uniformed service members.
Critics Say
The bill text does not explicitly state arguments from critics.
Those in favor argue that the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board has a duty to manage the Thrift Savings Fund in the best interest of its beneficiaries, primarily federal civil servants and uniformed service members tasked with national defense. They believe this duty inherently includes preventing investments from harming national security. The bill text does not present arguments against these provisions.
