Supreme Court clears path for small businesses to register personal details with FinCEN to combat money laundering.

The US Supreme Court has allowed the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act, requiring small business owners to register with FinCEN, a Treasury Department division. This act, aimed at combating money laundering through anonymous shell companies, mandates that owners and part-owners of about 32.6 million small businesses provide personal details like photo IDs and home addresses. The registration requirement had been blocked by a Texas judge, but the Supreme Court's decision permits enforcement while the legal challenge continues.
