PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2026-09-17 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The bill would require the Treasury Department, working with federal health officials, to develop and distribute sample guidance about tax-favored accounts and programs for children. The guidance would help state treasurers inform parents and legal guardians about establishing these accounts and programs. It would also help state treasurers and health departments coordinate sharing live-birth information to support that outreach.
Model guidance to assist with establishment of certain tax-favored accounts for children
The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, shall develop and disseminate model guidance to assist— (1) State Treasurers in sharing information with parents and legal guardians on the establishment of Trump accounts (as defined in section 530A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), qualified ABLE programs (as defined in section 529A of such Code), and qualified tuition programs (as defined in section 529 of such Code), and (2) State Treasurers and State health departments in coordinating the sharing of information regarding live births to assist State Treasurers in carrying out the sharing of information described in paragraph (1).
Section 1 would name the proposal the Born to Invest Act of 2026.
This Act may be cited as the Born to Invest Act of 2026.
Treasury would have to develop and distribute the guidance in consultation with the Department of Health and Human Services. The parent and guardian outreach would cover three options defined in existing tax law: Trump accounts, qualified ABLE programs, and qualified tuition programs. The supplied bill references those definitions without reproducing their eligibility rules or tax treatment.
