What’s in it

AI summary Life insurance companies and associations would be allowed to invest their extra cash in certain government-backed agreements. These agreements would use securities that take 270 days or longer to mature, rather than being limited to shorter periods. This change affects how these companies manage the money they hold in their reserves.1
