On December 20, two "minibus" government funding bills for the fiscal year 2020 (H.R.1865 – Domestic, H.R.1158 – National Security) were signed into law by the President. The end-of-year funding deal averted a government shutdown and included several provisions known as policy riders. Retroactive extension of the expired fuel tax credits was a significant advocacy priority for NAFA in 2019, as many fleets use the credits to justify the purchase of these fuels and vehicles.
 
The Chair of the House Energy and Commerce’s Consumer Protection Subcommittee released a draft privacy bill, which would establish limits on sharing consumers’ information and would allow users to correct their personal data. NAFA is actively engaged with policymakers and staff to stress how integral access to vehicle-generated data is for fleet management. Ensuring that organizations have transparent data policies that outline how data is collected and used is vital to ensuring that both employers and their employees do not run afoul of forthcoming privacy laws.

During the recent Canadian election, a new luxury car tax was proposed by the Liberal Party of Canada. The 10% tax would apply on cars over $100K and affect close to 1.5 percent of the overall Canadian car market. NAFA's Canadian legislative counsel advocated since the election campaign to exempt fleets from the proposed luxury tax. Preliminary discussions with the government indicate that if the luxury tax is implemented it will only target personal vehicles only, with fleets and businesses being exempted.
