EEOC PUBLISHES PROPOSED ADAAA REGULATIONS Yesterday, the EEOC published long awaited proposed regulations on the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA). The ADAAA took effect January 1, 2009, and employers have been attempting to apply the law since then without regulatory guidance. Congress passed the ADAAA to overturn U.S. Supreme Court decisions interpreting the ADA, particularly the definition of disability, too narrowly. In passing the ADAAA, Congress left certain questions unanswered and instructed the EEOC to provide further interpretation. The proposed regulations are intended to do that and address the following:
The EEOC also issued a question-and-answer document on the proposed regulations. The EEOC goes beyond the information in the proposed regulations to address issues such as whether the ADAAA will be applied retroactively and whether asking an employee if reasonable accommodation is needed could be regarding the employee as disabled. The EEOC also addresses previous excluded impairments and the viability of the following existing defenses: that the employee is not qualified, that he or she poses a direct threat, or that an accommodation causes undue hardship. Interested parties have 60 days from the publication date to submit comments for EEOC consideration. The EEOC will review the comments and possibly change the regulations before finalizing them. Comments may be submitted to the EEOC by mail, fax, delivery, or at www.regulations.gov. MSEC will be providing detailed analysis of the proposed regulations in upcoming a webinar on November 19, 2009, and a briefing session on a date yet to be determined. * * * * * * * * If you have questions on any legal or regulatory topic, please contact:

PLEASE JOIN US TOMORROW FOR A FUNDRAISER AT CADA IN SUPPORT OF REP. KEN SUMMERS (R-LAKEWOOD) Please join us Wednesday, September 30th, as CADA hosts a fundraiser for long-time automobile dealer supporter, Rep. Ken Summers (R-Lakewood). During the 2009 Session, Rep. Summers was the prime sponsor in the Colorado House of Representatives of HB 1230, a bill that provided a hold harmless to dealers in the event of a subsequent audit where a purchaser of a motor vehicle has provided a dealer with an incorrect primary address in an effort to avoid sales taxes. For a copy of HB 1230, please click here. To view the invitation or to RSVP, please click here. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow to support Rep. Summers. * * * * * * * * ON THE HEELS OF NEW REVENUE FORECAST, COLORADO SHORT ANOTHER $240 MILLION FOR FY 09/10 In addition to the $318M shortfall lawmakers were stunned with last month, Colorado’s Legislative Council Staff recently informed lawmakers that the state will be another $240M short for the current fiscal year. That puts our current revenue loss at $558M. The Governor is expected to revise his budget-balancing plan immediately in light of these new numbers.

LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS ANNOUNCED Ben Faricy, The Faricy Boys and Todd Bondy, Murray Motors have agreed to serve as co-chairs of the CADA Legislative Policy Committee. Todd will serve as the LPC board liaison while Ben will serve as chair of the LPC meetings. They will together replace Matt Tynan and Don Hicks who have both served as LPC co-chairs for the past two years. Both Don and Matt plan to remain involved with the LPC and provide their continued support. CADA will host a LPC Victory Recognition Dinner on Thursday, October 1st at Root Down Restaurant, 1600 W. 33rd Ave, Denver, 80211 (corner of 33rd and Osage). The transition of leadership will occur at that dinner. The LPC has had a big impact for CADA and our member dealers over the past few years.

Since then we have passed (enacted) or defeated the following legislation: · Strengthened dealer franchise protections through legislation · Led the Sunset review process restoring the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board · Strengthened lien perfection protections for dealers · Staved off attempts to eliminate/repeal the ban on Sunday sales of motor vehicles · Fostered greater ties between dealers and state/federal legislators through more than 100 legislative grassroots meetings If you plan to attend the recognition dinner on Thursday, October 1st please let Lauren know by email at lauren.stadler@coloradodealers.org
