Summary of Bill SJRES 15
Bill 119 SJRes 15 is a joint resolution that aims to disapprove of a rule submitted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) regarding Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Residential Real Estate Transfers. The rule in question was put forth by FinCEN to address concerns about money laundering and illicit financial activities in the real estate market.
The resolution seeks to reject this rule, arguing that it may impose unnecessary burdens on individuals involved in residential real estate transactions.

They believe that the rule will help to increase transparency and accountability in real estate transactions, ultimately benefiting the overall integrity of the market. Overall, the resolution has sparked debate among lawmakers and stakeholders about the balance between preventing financial crimes and ensuring a smooth and efficient real estate market. The outcome of this resolution will have implications for how the US government approaches anti-money laundering regulations in the real estate sector.
