The New York Limited Liability Company Transparency Act (NYLTA) took effect on January 1, 2026. We previously wrote about the NYLTA when it was first introduced and when it was subsequently repealed and reintroduced. A combination of federal regulatory developments and Governor Kathy Hochul’s December 2025 veto of a proposed state amendment have substantially narrowed the statute’s scope. Only nonexempt LLCs formed under the laws of a foreign country that are authorized to do business in New York are now subject to its beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements. All LLCs formed under the laws of any U.S. state or territory are exempt from reporting under the NYLTA as it currently stands.
