This bill would fully repeal the Corporate Transparency Act, a law that requires many companies to report information about who really owns them. If passed, it would remove those ownership-reporting rules and undo related changes made in other federal anti-money-laundering laws. In simple terms, the bill would отменe the current federal system that was created to make it harder for hidden shell companies to be used for crime or fraud.

  • It repeals the Corporate Transparency Act itself, along with the changes that law made to other federal statutes.
  • It removes the federal requirement for certain businesses to file ownership information with the government.
  • It also makes technical changes to other parts of federal law so they no longer refer to the repealed reporting rule.
  • The bill was introduced in the Senate and sent to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
