3 Industry Leaders.  3 Days. 3 Critical Issues. Join the Power of 3…

3 critical issues that directly affect your bottom line and the way you serve families are at stake. Attend the 2010 NFDA Advocacy Summit to:

1. Support FTC regulation of cemeteries and all third party sellers by supporting the enactment of the Bereaved Consumer's Bill of Rights Act. (H.R. 3655).
   
   NFDA is honored to have U.S. Representative Bobby L.  Rush (D-Ill), sponsor of this important legislation, speaking at this year's Summit. For more information on this issue including NFDA’s testimony during the recent House Subcommittee hearing, click here. 
2. Protect consumers’ ability to pay or prepay for funeral services by supporting codification of the SSI irrevocable funeral/burial trust exemption. (H.R. 1352/ S. 427)
3. Get the latest information on the NEW TSA 100% Screening Requirement. A new TSA deadline looms: by August 1, 2010, all cargo, including human remains, transported on passenger aircraft must be screened. Learn about shipping options and how to become compliant prior to the deadline.
