With a bipartisan majority of 336 to 71, the House on July 20 voted to add anti-money laundering (AML) provisions to the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Financial trade groups had urged House Armed Services Committee leaders to include key anti-money laundering provisions in NDAA. The provisions would direct the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to establish and maintain a registry of beneficial ownership information and also modernize Treasury authorities and certain anti-money laundering requirements.
The groups noted that these provisions will “assist in preventing money laundering, human trafficking, drug smuggling, terrorism financing, fraud and other illicit activity.”
The House still needs to vote on passage of NDAA, as amended.
