ACCA participated in meetings with DOE and industry stakeholders to discuss future generations of refrigerants, otherwise referred to as "A3" or "natural" refrigerants. ACCA supported S.J.Res.58 and H.J.Res.111 which would overturn DOE's rule restricting consumer access to non-condensing furnaces.

American Innovation in Manufacturing Act (Public Law 116-260) regarding HFC phasedown. ACCA supports a safe transition for contractors and consumers alike, given the flammable nature of A2L refrigerants, which will be replacing HFCs in the marketplace. ACCA also supports an orderly transition in order to minimize market disruptions. ACCA lobbied for a one year sell-through period for products that use R410a refrigerant. ACCA supported H.R. 2868, the Association Health Plans Act which would allow associations like ACCA to provide health plans to members. ACCA supported S. 1706 which would make permanent the 199A tax deduction for S-corporations, also referred to as 'pass-through entities'. ACCA opposed DOE's decision to sunset ENERGY STAR for central air conditioning units and gas fired furnaces. ACCA signed on to letters regarding Department of Labor and Treasury's proposed overtime rule regarding white collar exemptions as well as OSHA's 'walkaround rule' regarding safety inspections. ACCA is concerned with the impact these rules will have on its membership.

In a recent publication, the Education Commission of the States analyzed the "State of the State" addresses of 44 governors to find out what issues they care about the most. The group found that 34 governors highlighted workforce development and career and technical education (CTE) as top priorities. Many also proposed investment in job training programs using federal stimulus funds and also promoted increased grant funding to expand CTE programs. This report is encouraging as it shows America's leaders realize the importance of a skilled workforce and understand that further investment in career and technical education is a necessity. Earlier this year, President Biden approved a $45 million increase in funding for Perkins CTE Grants. This was one of ACCA's legislative priorities for the 117th Congress and marks the 6th consecutive year of funding increases for Perkins Grants. You can do your part to support the HVACR workforce by participating in ACCA's action alert on H.R. 3365 (the Student Debt Alternative and CTE Awareness Act) and H.R. 3366 (the Supporting Small Business and Career and Technical Education Act). These bills, introduced by Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25), would make common-sense changes that support small businesses and promote skilled trades.

H.R. 7671 Airborne Act - Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) introduced the Airborne Act, which incentivizes non-residential building owners to conduct indoor air quality assessments (IAQ) and upgrade their ventilation and air filtration systems. Specifically, the Airborne Act would: Incentivize commercial building owners to conduct IAQ assessments of their properties by providing them with a $1 per square foot tax credit, not to exceed the cost of conducting the assessment. Incentivize commercial building owners to upgrade their HVAC/air filter systems to reach the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 62.1-2019 and a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating of 13 or better for their properties. This standard mirrors ASHRAEs Epidemic Task Force Recommendations from October 2021 to reduce the spread of respiratory diseases like COVID-19. The tax credit for upgrades is equal to $5 per square foot of property affected for air filters, and $50 per square foot for HVAC systems and is limited to 50% of the total project cost. Create a Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Agency voluntary certification program for property owners to certify that their properties are in compliance with the IAQ standards outlined above. Eligible recipients also include non-profits and for certain public properties, the credit is transferable to the appropriate private entity carrying out the upgrade.

Death Tax Repeal Act; S.617 and H.R. 1712 As you might know, the death tax, also known as the estate tax, entitles the federal government to 40 percent of estates valued at over $11 million. It is among the most confiscatory taxes in the country. Moreover, it applies to the market value of assets including vehicles, furniture, real estate, tools, equipment, and much, much more. Appraisers have even been known to include client lists as an asset contributing towards the $11 million threshold. The Death Tax Repeal Act-S. 617 and H.R. 1712 introduced by Senator Thune (R-SD), and Representatives Smith (R-MO) and Bishop (D-GA) respectively, is bipartisan legislation that would eliminate this unfair confiscatory tax that poses undue hardship on families across the country who own small businesses-including contractors. Please take a moment to participate in our action alert and let your representatives in Congress know why they need to support this important bill. Section 199A, Main Street Tax Certainty Act; H.R. 1381 and S. 1381 Take action today to support the Main Street Certainty Act of 2021 (H.R. 1381 and S. 480), which would make the Section 199A deduction for small businesses permanent. Section 199A allows small businesses, also referred to as S-corporations or pass-through entities, to deduct 20 percent of their qualified business income (QBI). The Section 199A deduction was included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to create greater tax parity between small businesses and larger corporations. In other words, its purpose is to level the playing field. It is currently set to expire at the end of 2025. Please take a moment to let your representatives in Congress know why they should support the Main Street Tax Certainty Act of 2021 (H.R. 1381 and S. 480) and make this important provision for small businesses permanent. 25C Permanence, Incentivize Residential Energy Efficiency Act; H.R. 3324 On May 18, 2021 Representative Roger Williams (R-TX) introduced H.R. 3324, the Incentivize Residential Energy Efficiency Act, which would make the Section 25C tax credit permanent. Section 25C offers homeowners a federal tax credit of 10 percent, up to $500, against the cost of energy efficient equipment-including HVAC systems. The 25C credit is currently set to expire at the end of 2021. It was last renewed in December 2020 with bipartisan support. Please take action today and urge your representatives in Congress to support this important legislation that will ensure greater certainty for the homeowners who utilize the 25C credit while also driving business for HVAC contractors and ACCA members across the country.

If enacted, this bipartisan legislation would forgive all PPP loans of less than $150,000 upon the borrowers completion of a simple, one-page forgiveness document. Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act; H.R. 842 Last month the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, HR 842 was introduced in the House of Representatives. This bill seeks to radically rewrite our nations labor laws in favor of unions and at the expense of workers and employers. There are several troubling provisions in the law, but some of the most concerning include the following: Gives unions the power to demand employers not do business with other non-union companies Gives unions the sole determination over the manner elections are conducted-effectively eliminating secret balloting Eliminates workers rights to remove unions that have failed to adequately represent their interests Limits the ability of businesses and individuals to utilize independent contractors Bans all state right-to-work laws Eliminates the right of employers to withdraw recognition from a union, even upon evidence that all employees want the union out Mandates civil fines up to $50,000 for any unfair labor practice (double for repeat offenders), and $10,000 daily fines for non-compliance with any National Labor Relations Board order This legislation will kill jobs, strain supply chains, and significantly reduce opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and harm contractors across the country. Congress is currently considering increasing in taxes in a number of ways for small and independently owned businesses. Some of the proposed policies include the following: raising the tax rate on pass-through corporations, capping the Section 199A deduction, increasing the capital gains tax, and imposing a double tax on estate transfers after death. Obviously, these policies would increase operating expenses as contractors are already contending with issues like inflation as well as supply and labor shortages. Congress is also considering a bank account reporting requirement that would require financial institutions to send information to the IRS on accounts with over $10,000 in gross inflows/outflows. This policy would affect the majority of taxpayers and would also carry massive privacy and security implications. It would also increase tax preparation costs and create operational challenges for financial institutions

Congress is currently considering increasing in taxes in a number of ways for small and independently owned businesses. Some of the proposed policies include the following: raising the tax rate on pass-through corporations, capping the Section 199A deduction, increasing the capital gains tax, and imposing a double tax on estate transfers after death. Obviously, these policies would increase operating expenses as contractors are already contending with issues like inflation as well as supply and labor shortages. Congress is also considering a bank account reporting requirement that would require financial institutions to send information to the IRS on accounts with over $10,000 in gross inflows/outflows. This policy would affect the majority of taxpayers and would also carry massive privacy and security implications. It would also increase tax preparation costs and create operational challenges for financial institutions

Death Tax Repeal Act; S.617 and H.R. 1712 As you might know, the death tax, also known as the estate tax, entitles the federal government to 40 percent of estates valued at over $11 million. It is among the most confiscatory taxes in the country. Moreover, it applies to the market value of assets including vehicles, furniture, real estate, tools, equipment, and much, much more. Appraisers have even been known to include client lists as an asset contributing towards the $11 million threshold.

Obviously, these policies would increase operating expenses as contractors are already contending with issues like inflation as well as supply and labor shortages. Congress is also considering a bank account reporting requirement that would require financial institutions to send information to the IRS on accounts with over $10,000 in gross inflows/outflows. This policy would affect the majority of taxpayers and would also carry massive privacy and security implications. It would also increase tax preparation costs and create operational challenges for financial institutions

There are several troubling provisions in the law, but some of the most concerning include the following: Gives unions the power to demand employers not do business with other non-union companies Gives unions the sole determination over the manner elections are conducted-effectively eliminating secret balloting Eliminates workers rights to remove unions that have failed to adequately represent their interests Limits the ability of businesses and individuals to utilize independent contractors Bans all state right-to-work laws Eliminates the right of employers to withdraw recognition from a union, even upon evidence that all employees want the union out Mandates civil fines up to $50,000 for any unfair labor practice (double for repeat offenders), and $10,000 daily fines for non-compliance with any National Labor Relations Board order This legislation will kill jobs, strain supply chains, and significantly reduce opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and harm contractors across the country.

Congress is currently considering increasing in taxes in a number of ways for small and independently owned businesses. Some of the proposed policies include the following: raising the tax rate on pass-through corporations, capping the Section 199A deduction, increasing the capital gains tax, and imposing a double tax on estate transfers after death. Obviously, these policies would increase operating expenses as contractors are already contending with issues like inflation as well as supply and labor shortages. Congress is also considering a bank account reporting requirement that would require financial institutions to send information to the IRS on accounts with over $10,000 in gross inflows/outflows. This policy would affect the majority of taxpayers and would also carry massive privacy and security implications. It would also increase tax preparation costs and create operational challenges for financial institutions
