In a rare display of complete bipartisan consensus, the House of Representatives on Friday approved the Miscellaneous Provisions (FATF Compliance) Bill, 2026, with all 36 members present voting in favour and none voting against.
Attorney General John Jeremie outlined that the bill amends a broad range of legislation connected to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and regulatory oversight—key areas identified under the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) compliance framework.
Among the laws amended were: Trustee Ordinance (1939); Proceeds of Crime Act; Police Service Act; Registration of Clubs Act; FIU of T&T Act; Companies Act; Partnership Act; Registration of Business Names Act; Licensing of Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones Act; Non-Profit Organisations Act (2019) and Counter Proliferation Financing Act (2025).
