FinCEN said it was issuing a final rule that permanently removes the requirement for U.S. companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information under the Corporate Transparency Act, and that it would delete previously reported information by now-exempt U.S. persons.

AI summary (separate from source): The policy outcome sought by the commitment was delivered for U.S. small businesses through FinCEN's final rule, effective in August 2026, even though the repeal was implemented administratively rather than by Husted's bill becoming law.

The promised policy outcome was achieved during Husted's federal Senate term: FinCEN's August 11, 2026 final rule permanently ended beneficial ownership reporting requirements for U.S. companies and U.S. persons, covering the small-business burden targeted by the pledge. Husted also directly supported related Senate legislation in May 2026 to limit CTA reporting to foreign companies, so he receives credit for supporting the outcome even though the final delivery came administratively rather than through enactment of his bill.
