 "Howdee Everyone,

This is a short legislative update so we can get something out to you right away on the new federal business entity registration.

If you haven’t heard, the federal government now requires all business, like LLCs and corporations, to file a Beneficial Ownership Information registration.

There was a court case challenging the requirement and delaying registration. Just recently, 12/23/24, there was yet another legal decision reversing that delay.

The fines for not filing are very steep. Just get it done (3) .
Read more on the Corporate Transparency Act, FinCEN registration here (4) .

Regarding Legislation.
We had wins across the board last legislative season. Good job everyone!
The Anti-Squatter amendment did pass.

analysis of the new Anti-Squatter law
a short analysis of the change in NH legislature from the last election
a sneek peek at upcoming bill titles
