On December 29, 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 into law.

There are changes intended to encourage plan-sponsorship and provide additional opportunities to save, changes that (in practical terms) will increase and others that will (hopefully) reduce administrative burdens, and changes that raise revenue. Some changes are effective immediately, some in the next few years, and others that will not take effect for many years (if ever).
