Block on Texas corporate ownership transparency law

A federal judge in Texas has suspended the enforcement of the corporate ownership transparency law, which required companies to disclose information about their beneficial owners.

​

The court found that the law violates the U.S. Constitution by exceeding federal authority. The decision has effectively frozen the implementation of the law’s requirements and sparked a debate about the limits of regulation in corporate reporting.

​

Supporters of the law argued that disclosing ultimate ownership is an important tool in combating money laundering and terrorism financing. Opponents countered that it represents excessive federal interference in private business affairs and poses potential risks to corporate confidentiality.
