Industry News and AdvocacyH.R. 2513, the “Corporate Transparency Act of 2019” would require applicants who form a corporation or LLC under State or Tribal laws to file a list of beneficial owners with the U.S. Dept. of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Existing LLCs and corporations would be required to begin filing this information annually *no sooner than 2 years after the bill becomes law,* pursuant to a rulemaking by the Secretary of the Treasury. The information collected would be: presentation of a passport with photograph, date of birth and unique identifying information like name/address for each beneficial owner.

Contact membership@tianet.org H.R. 1994, the “Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Act of 2019” or the SECURE Act modifies the requirements for employer-provided retirements plans, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and other tax-favored savings accounts. As you can imagine with any piece of legislation dealing with tax issues, it is extremely complex and confusing. A bill is making its way through the California State Legislature that would make it a lot harder for companies to label workers as independent contractors instead of employees. The bill has passed the State Assembly and now resides in the State Senate. The California bill, known as AB5, expands a groundbreaking California Supreme Court decision last year known as Dynamex. TIA is seeking young professionals to join our Young Executives Committee. Historically, the Young Executives Committee exclusively held an annual lunch event at the April Conference, and no formal activities ensued until the next year. But with the increasing number of young professionals joining the 3PL industry, the moment is ripe to formalize the committee and provide our members with a platform for networking and information sharing with the next generation of leaders within TIA. TIA has partnered with the Addiction Policy Forum, a national nonprofit, to address substance use disorders in the workplace. The partnership will allow you and your employees a confidential, app-based counseling service – free of charge. We are passionate about beginning work on this initiative to help our members help employees in need.  Exhibit booth reservation requests for the 2020 TIA Capital Ideas and Exhibition can be made here. If you have questions, contact meetings@tianet.org.
