On March 19, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas entered an order vacating FinCEN's Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for Residential Real Estate Reporting Rule (RRE).

On March 20, 2026, FinCEN added an alert to its website, stating that “in light of a federal court decision, reporting persons are not currently required to file real estate reports with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force.”

Although FinCEN may challenge the court’s decision and seek to have the RRE reinstated, based on the court’s order and FinCEN’s statement, ASE has paused all processes implemented to comply with the RRE until further notice.

Please contact your sales representative if you have any questions or visit https://www.fincen.gov/rre for the latest news and information regarding the RRE.
