Legal Action Fund

A well-funded Legal Action Fund (LAF) is critical to ensuring that TRALA has the necessary resources to protect our industry and advance our goals in Congress and all 50 states. 

 

Over the years, TRALA’s LAF has been essential in funding amicus briefs and government relations activities at the state and federal levels to protect our industry. These challenges are expensive but critical to the success of TRALA’s advocacy efforts.

 

For example, just this year TRALA received two positive court decisions. One was in New York citing the Graves Amendment that stated lessors’ insurance should not be considered primary.  Another was in Colorado where the court ruled that rental companies are not insurance agents and should not be treated as such. Later this year, TRALA will file a brief in Pennsylvania in a case involving whether a lessor should be held liable for its inability to ascertain from a state DMV whether a drivers license was suspended even though many states refuse to give such information.

 

These cases, along with a variety of legislative initiatives in the states and in Congress, require TRALA to react in a moment’s notice, utilizing not only our grassroots and lobbying efforts, but to spend the necessary funds in order to achieve success. Your support of the LAF makes this all possible.

As always, TRALA aims to protect your business and ensure our industry is treated fairly. Your contributions to the Legal Action Fund help make these efforts possible.
