Constitutionality of the Corporate Transparency Act
March 4, 2024
On March 1, 2024, the U.S. District Court in Alabama declared the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) unconstitutional, challenging its mandate for a national database of business owners aimed at curbing financial crimes.

The ruling’s broader impact on financial crime prevention efforts remains under scrutiny as developments continue.
