The United States government has voted to pass a landmark corporate transparency bill as an international anti-corruption organization, Global Witness, commending the action.
Global Witness said in a statement by Alexandria Robins, Assistant Policy Advisor in Global Witness' Anti-Money Laundering team, said: “The House of Representatives made history with a majority vote to move the Corporate Transparency Act out of Committee and towards the House floor. Just prior to the house committee vote, Senators Mark Warner , Tom Cotton , Doug Jones , and Mike Rounds —all members of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs—also introduced a draft bill that proposed a range of reforms to current anti-money laundering laws in order to make them more effective.
