ESA Needs Your Help Repealing Onerous Accounting Mandate
We are calling on all of our members and other security professionals to contact their U.S. House representatives and urge him or her to support H.R. 5141, the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act.
The bill would repeal Section 9006 of the health care bill which requires data collection and information filing on virtually all business-to-business transactions of $600 or more.
This onerous requirement will add mountains of paperwork for small businesses and start ups, and may make it harder for them to conduct vital day-to-day business functions. In a time of great economic turmoil, small businesses do not need any additional hardship placed on them by the federal government.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
We have provided a letter and you can find contact information for your representative by visiting http://www.house.gov/ and entering your residence zip code in the space provided.
Please fill out this letter and either fax or email it to John Chwat so that he can hand-deliver it. John’s fax number is (703) 684-7594 and his email address is gov.info@alarm.org.

ESA has been working closing with the US Chamber of Commerce in its effort to repeal Section 9006. This week a letter, in which ESA was listed as a supporting member, was sent by the US Chamber to Congressional members urging their support in repealing the section. Read the Letter.
We need the voice of every small and large electronic security dealer, manufacturer, central station owner and their vendors to support ESA’s effort in repealing this mandate.
