Corporate Transparency Act: CAI challenges act’s constitutionality in court filing
Community Associations Institute filed an amicus brief earlier this week in the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit challenging the constitutionality of the Corporate Transparency Act. Enacted by Congress in 2021, the act requires businesses, including community associations, to register with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. CAI supports the act’s intent to bolster transparency and counter money laundering and terrorist financing efforts but believes it should not apply to community associations.
