  IADA Legislative Directories to be Mailed  
 

Unfortunately, we had to find a new provider for our bi-annual IADA Legislative Directory and these are now being printed and should be mailed to the membership soon. The new format includes your legislators' photos and contacts in color for the first time. These will be current for the remainder of this year and in 2022.

This will be a useful guide for our membership as we continue to further enhance your grassroots efforts in helping us represent the dealer voice.

Watch for our upcoming Legislative Alerts as we will soon begin our Advocacy Campaign in contacting the Governor's Office seeking his support of SB 58 - which restores the trade in tax credit; HB 3940 - Increases dealer compensation for warranty work and parts, disallows manufacturer surcharges; provides for adjustments to time allowances; SB 573 - 90 day drive away permit and $20 dealer title; and HB 2435 - Amends the Franchise Act to prevent a manufacturer from prohibiting a dealer's offer of secondary products and prohibits a manufacturer from mandating that a dealer use only manufacturer approved or endorsed secondary products.

  Managing Dealership Risk With Dealer Safeguard Solutions  
 

Dealers, GM's, CFO's, If the article below raises any concerns for your organization, we can help! If you are frustrated with your only option being the passive compliance approach of training, reviewing past behavior, and only having the ability to learn of issues/problems "after" the fact on a report, we change the game. For years, we have been enabling our clients across the country to make the transition from "hoping to knowing". Our platform is the only "active" compliance management platform that stops the issues before they become problems, rather than having to deal with them after the fact. Training is temporary, turnover is a fact of life, and having to constantly struggle with maintaining a consistent compliant front end is no longer the norm! We have been providing this simple, affordable, "no brainer" platform to dealers and dealer groups both large and small, and are experiencing strong growth and support.

Very interesting article, this is huge, game changer for dealers, Dealer Safeguard Solutions help stop this risk- https://kpsdsalerts.com/2021/04/03/ftc-aggressive-in-seeking-to-hold-dealership-owners-individually-liable/
