A Landmark 8‑1 Supreme Court Ruling Boosts Government Efficiency and Strengthens Anti‑Money Laundering Efforts

A New Chapter in Corporate Transparency and Federal Oversight

In a stunning and highly anticipated decision, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered an 8‑1 ruling that reinstates a key federal anti‑money laundering law. Hailed by advocates for fiscal reform and government efficiency, this decision comes amid a contentious legal battle over the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The law requires millions of small business entities to disclose detailed personal information about their owners, aiming to shine a light on opaque ownership structures that can be exploited for illicit purposes. With Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as the sole dissenter, the ruling reaffirms the federal government’s efforts to combat financial crimes and sets a significant precedent regarding disputes over federal versus state authority.
