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.

The Salt Shark streamliner, handcrafted by owner/driver Tom Flattery and friends in Fremont, California, and seeking to become the “world’s fastest gasoline powered automobile.”

Visit the “Save the Salt Booth” in the Central Hall (#24099) of the 2019 SEMA Show and see the spectacular “Salt Shark” streamliner. This speed machine was handcrafted by owner/driver Tom Flattery and friends in his Fremont, California, carport. Flattery designed the car with a race plan to earn the distinction of “world’s fastest gasoline-powered automobile.” Weighing in at 4,000 lbs., Salt Shark is powered by a 427 LSX by Golan Engine combined with a five-speed B&J Racing Transmission. Flattery’s C4 Corvette daily driver was the first car he rebuilt into a land speed car.

The Bonneville Salt Flats possess rare physical qualities that has made it a perfect land-speed racing venue since 1914. SEMA, along with other organizations and companies comprising the Save the Salt Coalition, is working closely with federal and state government officials and the adjoining potash mine owner to restore Bonneville. A 10-year salt pumping program is being developed to triple the amount currently being pumped to bring the Salt Flats closer to its former glory. 

Visit booth #24099 or www.savethesalt.org to learn more.
