NAIFA Webinar: A Conversation About the Courts
August 8 | 12 pm eastern

A federal court has granted a stay in the lawsuit NAIFA, several NAIFA chapters, ACLI, and other partners filed to stop the Department of Labor from implementing its fiduciary-only rule. The stay means the DOL rule will not go into effect in September, giving the court more time to consider NAIFA's lawsuit. Furthermore, the court stated that NAIFA's lawsuit is "virtually certain to succeed on the merits." 

Join us for an important webinar that will explain what the stay means for financial professionals and your clients. Our panelists will also discuss other recent court rulings, including Supreme Court decisions overturning the Chevron Doctrine (Loper v. Raimondo), sidestepping the constitutionality of taxing unrealized income (Moore v. US), and narrowing buy-sell agreement tax benefits (Connelly v. United States). 

Major federal tax legislation is all but certain to be coming from Washington, D.C., in 2025. Many provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) are set to expire at the end of next year and Congress will need to address the situation. This NAIFA advocacy webinar will give you a better understanding of what is being dubbed the "Super Bowl of Tax" and provide insights into some of the proposals likely to shape the debate.
