A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for in-service rollovers for individual retirement annuity purchases, and for other purposes.

S5156 was introduced in the Senate on July 29, 2026, and referred to the Committee on Finance. The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to permit in-service rollovers from employer-sponsored retirement plans (e.g., 401(k)s) to individual retirement annuities. This is an early-stage procedural action with no committee hearings or markup scheduled. The bill has bipartisan sponsorship (Marshall, R-KS; Gillibrand, D-NY), but as a junior senator's bill, it faces a long legislative path including committee consideration, potential amendments, floor votes in both chambers, and presidential action. No funding is authorized or appropriated. The mechanism is a tax code change that would expand consumer choice in retirement savings, potentially increasing demand for IRA annuity products and custodial services. However, the impact on publicly traded companies is marginal. BlackRock ($BLK) and Charles Schwab are the most directly exposed, as IRA custodians and asset managers, but the incremental revenue from increased rollovers would be a fraction of their multi-billion-dollar revenue bases. The bill does not mandate any spending or create new programs, so the money trail is indirect—through potential shifts in consumer savings behavior. No convergence with other legislative signals or procurement actions is identified. The timeline is uncertain; the bill may not advance in the current Congress.
