CORRECTION (Feb. 15, 16:05 UTC): Rewrites headline, first paragraph. An earlier version of this story said the legislation was aimed at restricting crypto.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) plans to reintroduce legislation on Wednesday that would stop the Labor Department preventing employers and investment firms from offering crypto as part of 401(k) retirement plans, reported.
The legislation will be introduced in the House by Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), the report added.
U.S. lawmakers had asked investment giant Fidelity to reconsider its bitcoin-based 401(k) offering after the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
Tuberville's office did not immediately respond to CoinDesk's request for comment.
