EDA opposes Title IV of S. 2563 of the Improving Laundering Laws and Increasing Comprehensive Information Tracking of Criminal Activity in Shell Holdings Act (ILLICIT CASH ACT). The reporting requirements in the legislation would not only be duplicative, but they would also be burdensome. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements would be a federal crime with civil penalties of $500 per day and up to $10,000, criminal penalties of up to 4 years in prison, or both. EDA opposes Title LIV of S. 4049, Establishing Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Requirements. This amendment circumvents the normal legislative process as it has never been considered in committee. This amendment would impose duplicative, burdensome reporting burdens on millions of small businesses in the United States and threatens the privacy of law-abiding, legitimate small business owners.
