The National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America, Inc. (NCBFAA) is hosting a one-hour webinar on Changes Affecting the Regulation of Property Brokers and Surface Freight Forwarders on Thursday, December 13th at 1PM ET. Matt Zehner, Vice President Surety Information and Communication, will be the featured speaker.
The following outlines the webinar agenda and provides details to register.
The Transportation Bill signed into law this past summer does more than authorize nearly $100 billion in road and bridge infrastructure spending over the next few years. Among a variety of non-construction matters tucked into the nearly 600 pages of legislation is language affecting the regulation of property brokers, domestic freight forwarders and trucking firms. Learn what changes have already gone into effect two months ago and those that are set to go into effect by October of next year. There will be new registration and licensing requirements, and a 750% increase in the minimum amount of the property broker's bond. Additionally, surface freight forwarders will need to post a similar $75,000 bond. Learn how and why these changes came about, and gain a perspective on the statutory changes and the general underwriting environment for these bonds.
