As we approach the fall veto session, we ask for your continued support regarding HOUSE BILL 2317. HOUSE BILL 2317 which changes the tax base for motor vehicle leases from the selling price of the leased vehicle to the amount of the lease payments, failed to be called for a vote in the Illinois House on the last day of the legislative spring session! This legislation passed out of the Senate 55-0, a day earlier. While we were disappointed HB 2317 did not get called for a vote, we are optimistic this legislation will be considered in the fall veto session. IADA has had discussions with the House Speaker’s Staff regarding consid- eration in the fall veto session. We are continuing to work with the House Leg- islative Issues Staff who had some initial concerns with the financial impact of the legislation. This legislation is one vote away from going to the Governor’s desk. We ask dealers to contact House mem- bers for their support on House Bill 2317 prior to the fall veto session, October 22-24 and November 5-7. IADA will con- tinue to keep everyone up to date as we continue to work on this legislation.  Sincerely, Peter J. Sander, IADA President IADA PRESIDENT’S Letter | BY PETE SANDER
