Below is a statement from Brian Wild, Chief Government Affairs Officer at NAW, regarding the amicus brief NAW filed today.

“Today, NAW filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Court not to lift the injunction blocking enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). As we have consistently argued, the CTA’s intrusive and costly reporting requirements exceed Congress’s constitutional authority and violate core freedoms. Law-abiding small and mid-sized businesses deserve certainty, yet they are currently caught in a disruptive cycle unsure whether they must comply with a law whose constitutionality remains in serious doubt. We urge the Supreme Court to preserve the existing injunction, preventing needless disruption and protecting the rights of small businesses while the courts determine whether this law passes constitutional muster.”

NAW is one of America’s leading trade associations, representing the $8 trillion wholesale distribution industry. Our industry employs more than 6 million workers throughout the United States, accounting for approximately 1/3 of the U.S. GDP. 250,000 wholesale distribution companies operate across North America, including all 50 states.
