Public Policy Priorities

Public Policy Priorities

NADA's mission is to serve and represent the franchised new-car and -truck dealers of America, their management and employees.

EPA's CARB Waivers

NADA has long supported a single, national fuel economy standard that is technologically feasible, economically practicable, and does not restrict consumer choice.

Emissions Rules

America’s new truck dealers are committed to selling fleets and owner/operators the commercial trucks they want and need on the timeline that works for them.

Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

America’s new-car and -truck dealers are committed to selling consumers the vehicles that they want and need.

Direct to Consumer Sales

The dealer franchise system benefits consumers, local communities and auto manufacturers.

Taxes

As most dealerships are family-owned small businesses that are organized as pass-through entities, NADA supports maintaining the Sec. 199A deduction, retaining the current federal estate tax threshold, restoring 100% bonus depreciation, and returning EBITDA as the basis for interest deductibility limits.

Tariffs and Trade

Increased tariffs on automobiles and auto parts would hurt consumers and the economy.

Right to Repair Legislation

NADA opposes so-called "Right to Repair" legislation.

Catalytic Converter Anti-Theft Legislation

NADA supports federal legislation to give law enforcement the tools to fight catalytic converter theft.
