The ESOP Association has been informed that a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Labor regarding what is known as the “adequate consideration exemption” for ESOP transactions has been drafted and is being submitted to OMB imminently.
OMB is the agency that “oversees the implementation of the President’s vision across the Executive Branch.” This is the first step taken before a regulation can be made public for a notice and comment period.

Members of the House and Senate are out of session for nearly all of October. That doesn’t mean they’re on vacation; it means they will be back in their districts meeting with constituents, touring facilities, speaking at organizations and events, and otherwise engaging with their voters. Now is the time to contact Members of Congress to get them to tour your business during these open periods!
