Senate OKs pension bill an historic step in security
The Senate approved a private pension reform 93 to 0 and sent the measure to the House amid expectations of quick action. The bill sets minimum standards for private plans, requires vesting after five years and full vesting after 15, and funds a government insurer to guarantee benefits if plans fail. Some senators criticized the bill as inadequate, but proposed liberalizations were defeated to avoid steep costs that could drop pension coverage.
