8 bills. 8 different stages. 8 different asks.

Nobody serious is fighting any of these — the holdup is almost always scheduling or momentum, not persuasion. But a generic "call about ESOPs" message misdirects effort on 7 of the 8. Find yours below, or browse the full list.

All Bills

This is a manually-updated snapshot, current as of the last edit. Bill numbers and stages can shift — two of the original bills in this space (S. 2474 and S. 2458) were already absorbed into S. 1728 mid-stream. A live version pulling directly from Congress.gov is planned for a future update.

S. 2403 / H.R. 5169 Retire Through Ownership Act

Creates an ERISA safe harbor letting ESOP fiduciaries rely on an independent appraiser's valuation — resolving the Department of Labor litigation fear that has chilled ESOP formation.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

House only

The ask: already passed the Senate unanimously and cleared the House Education & Workforce Committee unanimously. It only needs House leadership to schedule a floor vote — ask your representative to press leadership directly.

Sponsor: Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA)

S. 1728 Employee Ownership Representation Act

Adds two ESOP-company representatives to the federal ERISA Advisory Council.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

House only

The ask: passed the Senate unanimously, but no House companion bill exists yet at all — a different problem than "schedule a vote." Ask your representative to introduce one, ideally someone on the Education & Workforce Committee.

Sponsors: Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH)

S. 1727 / H.R. 9792 Employee Ownership Fairness Act

Excludes ESOP stock contributions from the annual caps that otherwise apply to defined-contribution retirement plans, so participants can also fully use a 401(k) alongside their ESOP.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

SenateHouse

The ask: stalled in the Senate HELP Committee — never got a floor vote. The House version (H.R. 9792) was just introduced and needs cosponsors. This is the one bill where contacting your senator is actually useful right now — ask them to push it out of committee. Separately, ask your representative to cosponsor H.R. 9792.

H.R. 9792 sponsor: Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA)

H.R. 3105 / S. 2461 Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act

Expands S-corporation ESOP eligibility, streamlines related tax and SBA provisions, creates a Treasury assistance office for S-corp ESOPs.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

SenateHouse

The ask: earliest-stage of the bipartisan bills — pending in the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. Ask both your representative and senator to cosponsor and push for committee movement.

House sponsors: Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) · Senate sponsors: Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH)

H.R. 3248 / S. 1645 American Ownership and Resilience Act

Creates a Commerce Department investment facility offering federally-backed financing for converting private businesses to employee ownership — directly targets the $100K–$300K formation-cost barrier.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

SenateHouse

The ask: early-stage, pending in both chambers. Ask your representative and senator to cosponsor.

Sponsors: Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT), Rep. Lori Trahan (D-MA)

S. 1101 SHARE Plan Act

A 3-percentage-point corporate tax cut for companies that distribute annual stock grants worth 1% of pay to their lowest-paid 80% of employees. Broader than ESOP specifically, same underlying goal.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

Senate

The ask: Senate-only for now — no confirmed House companion found yet. Ask your senator to cosponsor and to encourage a House companion to be introduced.

H.R. 5778 Improving SBA Engagement on Employee Ownership Act

Directs the SBA to actually implement the Main Street Employee Ownership Act's requirements and expand ESOP/worker-cooperative outreach.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

House only

The ask: passed the House Small Business Committee by unanimous vote (Nov. 18, 2025). No Senate companion confirmed. Ask your representative to press for a floor vote.

Sponsor: Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)

H.R. 2993 ESOP Funding for SBA Position Act

Funds a dedicated SBA staff position specifically for ESOP support.

IntroducedCommittee1 Chamber2 ChambersLaw

House only

The ask: early stage. Ask your representative to cosponsor.

Why calling comes first

When your zip resolves, each bill shows a "Call" button before anything else — that's deliberate. Personalized calls and messages measurably outperform generic form campaigns; identical mass emails are largely ignored by congressional staff. The "copy a message" option is there too, but it's meant as a starting draft to personalize, not something to send as-is.
