Supreme Court declines to hear Corporate Transparency Act challenges
The U.S. Supreme Court on October 5, 2026, declined to hear two cases challenging the constitutionality of the Corporate Transparency Act, the federal beneficial ownership reporting law. The petitions argued the law violates the Fourth Amendment and exceeds Congress's commerce power; the denials came in the order list on the first day of the court's 2026 term.
