SEC. 3. CONTRACTS TO PROVIDE PORTABLE RETIREMENT AND INVESTMENT 
              ACCOUNTS.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Director shall establish a program under 
which--
            (1) the Director shall invest the assets in each PRIA Basic

        described in subsection (c); and
            (2) the Director shall group PRIA Basic Accounts so 
        established into classes based on the year the beneficiary of 
        each such account will attain age 65.
Once a class of PRIA Basic Accounts contains, in the aggregate, enough 
assets so that the establishment of a dedicated target date fund for 
such class would be cost effective, the Director shall award (on a 
rotating basis) to an entity certified under subsection (b) a contract 
to act as trustee of all such accounts and to invest such accounts in a 
lifecycle fund provided by the trustee as described in subsection (c).
    (b) Certification of Trustees.--The Director may not award a 
contract to an entity under subsection (a) unless the Director has 
certified such entity under this subsection. The Director shall 
establish certification criteria which shall include the following:
            (1) Expertise, including the professional qualifications, 
        business model, experience, and training of the trustee and any 
        service providers that the trustee intends to use.
            (2) Registration, licensing, and financial soundness 
        demonstrating that participant funds would be handled by a 
        regulated financial entity.
            (3) Reputation and customer service, including records of 
        comments or complaints from employers and participants, timely 
        consideration and resolution of complaints filed, and 
        independent rating or accreditations.
    (c) Lifecycle Fund.--A lifecycle fund described in this subsection 
is a fund that--
            (1) is comprised of an appropriate mix of index funds;
            (2) is automatically adjusted over time during the time 
        horizon of the fund;
            (3) strikes a balance between expected risk and return over 
        the time horizon of the fund; and
            (4) has an initial target retirement date that is 
        consistent with retirement at age 65.
    (d) Fiduciary Responsibility.--A trustee of a portable retirement 
and investment account shall act as a fiduciary to the account holder 
and shall discharge his duties with respect to the account in the sole 
interest of the account holder under rules similar to those applicable 
to an ERISA fiduciary under section 404 of the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1104).
    (e) Contracts.--
            (1) Number of contracts awarded, etc.--The Director shall 
        enter into contracts with 10 entities at any given time to 
        provide services under subsection (a), and shall not award a 
        contract to any entity which has an existing contract under 
        such subsection. Each such contract shall have a duration of 5 
        years.
            (2) Consideration.--In awarding contracts to entities under 
        subsection (a), the Director shall consider--
                    (A) the specific composition of the lifecycle funds 
                provided by such trustee;
                    (B) the services to account holders offered by such 
                trustee, including available investment advice;
                    (C) the fees charged by such trustee; and
                    (D) the importance of maintaining a diversity of 
                trustees.

        by subsection (a)(3), who is a child of a taxpayer who received 
        a credit against tax under section 32 of the Internal Revenue

                the dollar amount in subparagraph (A) shall be 
                increased by an amount equal to--

                        Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for the calendar 
                        year in which the taxable year begins, by 
                        substituting ``calendar year 2020'' for 
                        ``calendar year 2016'' in subparagraph (A)(ii) 
                        thereof.
                Any increase determined under the preceding sentence

            (4) Contribution for transfer.--If a beneficiary of a PRIA 
        Basic Account (or, in the case of a beneficiary who is under 18 
        years of age, the parent or guardian of the beneficiary) makes 
        the election under subsection (f), the Director shall provide 
        for a $50 deposit if the beneficiary completes a financial 
        literacy training, as determined appropriate by the Director.

            (1) In general.--Except in the case of an individual who is 
        an active participant (as defined in section 219(g)(5) of the

        ending with or within the calendar year, the beneficiary of a 
        PRIA Basic or PRIA Choice Account may contribute additional 
        funds for deposit into such account.

        paid to an employee described in paragraph (5) by electronic 
        funds transfer shall permit such employee to elect to deposit,

            (3) Automatic contribution arrangement.--Any employer may 
        provide that an employee described in paragraph (5) is treated 
        as having elected to have the employer make contributions in an 
        amount equal to a uniform percentage of compensation disclosed 
        in advance to the employee until the employee specifically 
        elects not to have such contributions made (or specifically 
        elects to have such contributions made at a different 
        percentage). Such uniform percentage of compensation may 
        automatically increase according to a schedule provided by the 
        employer.
            (4) Supersedure.--Paragraph (3) shall supersede any law of 
        any State (within the meaning of section 514(c)(1) of title 29) 
        which would directly or indirectly prohibit an employer from

        minimum standards that such an arrangement would be required to 
        satisfy in order for this paragraph to apply in the case of 
        such arrangement.
            (5) Employee described.--An employee described in this

                        taxable year under subsection (b) of section

                        in the individual's gross income for such 
                        taxable year.
                    (B) Catch-up contributions for individuals 50 or 
                older.--In the case of an individual who has attained

                amounts described in paragraph (1)(A) and subsection 
                (c)(4) for such taxable year shall be increased by 
                $1,000.

                exceeds $15,000 and when the beneficiary of the account 
                attains the age of 18, the Director shall notify the
