Legal Alert: Corporate Transparency Act PUT ON HOLD!

This week, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a new opinion in Texas Top Cop Shop v. Garland et al. (Case No. 4:24-cv-00478, December 3, 2024), finding that the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) “is not justified by the Commerce Clause nor the Necessary and Proper Clause” and concluded that the plaintiffs had established a substantial likelihood of success on the merits in their argument that the CTA is unconstitutional.

Minimum Wage Increase

Effective January 1, 2025, Arizona’s minimum wage will increase by 35 cents – from $14.35 to $14.70 per hour, representing a 2.4 percent raise. This jump reflects the continued wage increase initiative started by The Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, which voters approved in 2016.

In addition to the statewide minimum wage requirements, employers should be aware of local minimum wage requirements. Several Arizona municipalities have independent minimum wages. This includes Flagstaff, which will increase its minimum wage to $17.85 per hour effective January 1, 2025. Tucson will increase its minimum wage to $15 per hour effective January 1, 2025.
