Court Rules Corporate Transparency Act Unconstitutional
A recent court ruling found the Corporate Transparency Act unconstitutional due to exceeding the Constitution's limits on legislative branch, lacking connections to enumerated powers, and being outside Congress's authority to regulate non-commercial interstate activities. The judge's decision affects the National Small Business United group and their plaintiff Isaac Winkles, exempting them from reporting, leading to uncertainty and potential legal challenges.
