The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking public comment on whether to give automakers the option of installing camera monitoring systems in place of outside and inside rearview mirrors. The mirrors are required under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, Rear Visibility, which mandates the ability to view objects that are behind or to the side of the vehicle. The automakers have petitioned the agency for the change, citing new camera and visual display technology provides an equivalent level of safety. Such systems are now permitted in many countries in Europe and Asia. NHTSA has been gathering technical information to review the issue and is now seeking public comments, due by December 9, 2019. 

For more information, contact Stuart Gosswein at stuartg@sema.org.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Corporate Transparency Act of 2019” (H.R. 2513), a bill that would impose new reporting requirements on small businesses in an effort to gather information about the beneficial owners of small companies and prevent bad actors from using shell companies to break the law. The bill defines “beneficial owner” to mean anyone who exercises substantial control over a company, owns at least 25% of a business’ equity interests or receives substantial economic benefits from the business (as determined by implementing regulations). SEMA opposes H.R. 2513, which would impose duplicative and problematic reporting burdens on millions of small businesses in the United States with 20 or fewer employees and $5 million or less in gross receipts or sales. SEMA and business groups sent Congress a letter in opposition to the legislation.  

The U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Networks (FinCEN) published a rulemaking in 2018, which required financial institutions to collect the beneficial ownership information of legal entities with which they conduct commerce. H.R. 2513 would shift the reporting requirements of this rule from large banks to small businesses, requiring them to register with FinCEN upon incorporation and file annual reports with the agency for the life of the business. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements would be a federal crime with civil penalties of up to $10,000 and criminal penalties of up to three years in prison.
