In our last newsletter, we incorrectly reported that beneficial ownership reporting was due on January 13. However, as of December 26, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a ruling that indefinitely suspends the requirement for beneficial ownership reporting.
This nationwide injunction blocks enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and its reporting regulations. As a result, businesses are currently not required to file beneficial ownership information reports and will not be held liable for failing to file while the injunction remains in place.
We apologize for any confusion and will continue to keep you updated on further developments.
New Law: Sexual Assault Prevention Training for TN Bartenders
Several members have inquired about the new Tennessee law, effective January 1, 2025, requiring bartenders to complete sexual assault prevention training.
To clarify, our understanding is that this training will be incorporated into the existing server permit renewal process. This means the training will be part of the class taken upon permit renewal, and no additional or supplemental class will be required.
