On February 18, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, in Smith, et al. v. U.S. Department of the Treasury, et al., 6:24-cv-00336 (E.D. Tex.), stayed its own January 7, 2025 order that stayed FinCEN’s regulations implementing the beneficial ownership information (“BOI”) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act. As a result of this recent order, BOI reporting requirements are now back in effect. Please refer to our previous client alert on the BOI reporting requirements at Client Alert: FinCEN’s Beneficial Ownership Reporting Rule.
