网曝吃瓜

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 20, 2026)聽鈥� The聽网曝吃瓜 (网曝吃瓜),聽the nation鈥檚 leading small business advocacy organization, joined more than 100 trade associations in sending a聽letter聽to U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent calling for an immediate purge of the聽Corporate Transparency Act鈥檚聽(CTA) Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) database of all U.S. businesses that already filed and for the quick promulgation of the final rule exempting U.S. businesses from the burdensome reporting requirements.

鈥淭丑别听Corporate Transparency Act聽has created a privacy, constitutional, and security nightmare for law-abiding Main Street business owners while failing to stop the criminal activity it was intended to target,鈥� said聽网曝吃瓜 Director of Federal Government Relations Josh McLeod.聽鈥溚�曝吃瓜 strongly urges the current Administration to destroy the unconstitutionally collected BOI data of America鈥檚 small businesses and issue a final rule that will exempt U.S. small businesses from BOI reporting requirements.鈥�

For over six years, 网曝吃瓜 has fought against Beneficial Ownership Information reporting regulations in Congress, executive branch agencies, and the federal courts, working to permanently block and repeal it. If not fully repealed, 32 million small businesses nationwide could once again be subjected to this unnecessary, invasive, and unconstitutional mandate. Those who fail to comply would be subject to聽criminal and civil penalties of up to two years in federal prison and up to $10,000.
