Opinion: 'We believe the time is right to reform our laws for combating illicit finance.'

As senators committed to protecting U.S. national security, upholding the rule of law, and promoting efficient government, we believe the time is right to reform our laws for combating illicit finance.

To make matters worse, banking laws designed to detect and combat money laundering and illicit financial activities haven't been updated comprehensively in decades. would modernize our antiquated money-laundering laws and ensure that public and private sector resources are used where they matter most.

The United States is ranked second-worst in the world for its high levels of secrecy and offshore activities, according to the Tax Justice Network's. Illicit finance has become such a problem that the Financial Action Task Force —the premier international organization for combating money laundering—recently identified the United States as an outlier among developed nations for failing to disclose and track shell company ownership.
