Supreme Court News: CTA Reporting Paused, New Cases on Docket

As of the latest updates, the U.S. Supreme Court has been involved in several significant developments. One of the key events is the ongoing litigation surrounding the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Despite the Supreme Court lifting the injunction in the *Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. Garland* case on January 23, 2025, reporting obligations under the CTA remain paused due to a separate nationwide injunction issued by a federal judge in Texas in the *Smith v. U.S. Department of the Treasury* case on January 7, 2025. This means that companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and they will not face liability for failing to do so while the injunction is in place.

In other news, the Supreme Court has added three new cases to its docket for the 2024-25 term. These include *Becerra v. Braidwood Management*, which involves a challenge to the structure of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a part of the Department of Health and Human Services. The case centers on whether the task force's appointments violate the Constitution's appointments clause. Another case, *Department of Education v. Career Colleges and Schools of Texas*, will review a ruling that suspended the implementation of a rule intended to streamline the process for reviewing requests for student loan forgiveness. The third case, *Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Zuch*, deals with the issue of when a tax hearing becomes moot.

These cases are expected to be argued in April, with decisions likely by late June or early July.

On a different note, there have been no major new decisions or hearings from the Supreme Court in the last few days, but the court's activities continue to be closely watched as various legal challenges and appeals make their way through the judicial system.
