Legislative Report & Commentary IADAC WORKING FOR YOU BY BILLY DOHRING, IADAC LOBBYIST
I had the pleasure of attending the 47th annual IADAC convention at Lake Tahoe October 9-10. It was my 33rd IADAC convention and it was the best attended convention in many years. It was great to see many past attendees who haven’t been around in a few years and many new faces. We had an inspiring program and it was great to see the audience absorbing the information that will help them be more profitable in their businesses. A special thanks to our vendors who help sponsor the convention and provide products that can make your business more profitable. We seem to be establishing a new beginning in the industry in which you want to attend, not are forced to attend. It would be great if every person who attended this year could bring a friend next year and double the attendance at the next event.
KEEP IN MIND, WHEN IT COMES TO REPRESENTING THE USED CAR INDUSTRY, IADAC IS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN.

AB 287 (safety recalls) will be held over until 2016. That is the California New Car Dealer Association bill which creates a formula for handling factory recalls. That bill in its current condition takes care of all of our concerns. AB 516 will mandate the installation of temporary (non-metal) plates in cases where a vehicle does not have permanent plates already on the vehicle. This affects new car dealers more than us but we need to be prepared just in case. The author of the bill has listened to our concerns so far and we will continue to monitor that bill.
