What this bill would do

This bill proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding retirement plan distributions. It seeks to exclude certain charitable distributions from an individual's gross income. These distributions must be made from a qualified employer plan directly to specific organizations. To qualify, the individual must have reached the age of 70\1/2. The bill also extends these rules to certain annuity contracts and deferred compensation plans.
