Here is a message from the AIPBA:
As many of you know, there is reason to
believe that there will be a government shut down next Tuesday when the
government runs out of money, unless Congress acts responsibly. This
could have an impact on the broker bond issue and our application for an
injunction. Once scenario is that FMCSA will not be able to report to
work to implement their "guidance" notice.
In the event there is a shutdown, we also expect the US Attorney will
file a stay on all pending cases, including ours, which would cause
delays. We are working with our legal team to monitor this situation and
try to navigate these turbulent waters...
In the meantime, please keep in mind that even if an injunction is not
issued on or before Oct 1st, enforcement on currently licensed brokers
will not happen through November so we still have some time to effect an
injunction during October to stop eventual $75k bond enforcement.
If your bond has been cancelled we highly recommend you get at least an
immediate $10,000 bond replacement on file before Sept. 30th.
