A little over a week ago (in early March, 2024), small businesses across the United States were rejoicing upon hearing the news that a federal judge in the Northern District of Alabama, in a case brought by the National Small Business Association and Isaac Winkles, a member of the NSBA, had ruled that the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which became effective January 1, 2024, was unconstitutional.
