A federal court in Texas has halted the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act, which aims to combat money laundering, citing its 'unprecedented' breadth. This ruling comes just days before the U.S. Supreme Court is set to consider a separate challenge to the law. Attorneys general from 25 Republican-led states are advocating for a nationwide pause on the Act's enforcement, arguing that its implementation could adversely affect local economies. The Treasury Department has responded by requesting the Supreme Court to narrow the scope of the injunction blocking the Act's implementation. Additionally, two small business owners in Texas, represented by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, secured a nationwide stay against the reporting regulations mandated by the Act, contributing to the ongoing legal challenges faced by the U.S. Treasury Department regarding this legislation.
