Corporate Transparency Act of 2017 
 
This bill requires an entity that forms a corporation or limited liability company to disclose information about its beneficial owners. A beneficial owner is an individual who exercises substantial control over a corporation or limited liability company or has a substantial interest in or receives substantial economic benefits from the assets of a corporation or limited liability company. 
Specifically, if an entity applies to form a corporation or limited liability company in a state that does not require the disclosure of beneficial ownership information, then the entity must file beneficial ownership information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. 
The bill imposes a civil penalty and authorizes criminal penalties&#8212;a fine, a prison term for up to three years, or both&#8212;for providing false or fraudulent beneficial ownership information or for willfully failing to provide complete or updated beneficial ownership information. 
It directs the Department of the Treasury to require persons engaged in the business of forming (or of purchasing, selling, or transferring the public records that form) corporations or limited liability companies to establish anti-money laundering programs. 
The Government Accountability Office must study and report on: (1) the availability of beneficial ownership information for other legal entities (e.g., partnerships), and (2) the effectiveness of incorporation practices implemented under this bill.

This bill establishes a Department of Agriculture program to provide grants to states for revolving funds to support the establishment and operation of grocery stores in underserved communities. 
 
An underserved community is a community that has: (1) limited access to affordable, healthy foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, in grocery retail stores or farmer-to-consumer direct markets; and (2) a high rate of hunger or food insecurity or a high poverty rate. 
 
States must use the funds to make loans to support grocery stores in underserved communities, including for: opening a store (excluding new construction), supporting or purchasing an existing store, or supporting a store located in a community that would be underserved without the store. 
 
States may only make loans for grocery stores that meet requirements related to: 
 
 
 emphasizing unprocessed, healthful foods; 
 
providing staple foods and a variety of raw fruits and vegetables; 
 
 having a plan to keep the foods in stock; 
 
charging prices at or below market averages;
 
meeting specified matching requirements using non-federal funds; and
 
being qualified to operate a store or having partnerships with organizations that provide technical assistance. 
 
 
States must prioritize loan applications from entities that meet criteria related to:
 
 
 hiring workers from the underserved community, 
 
 providing classes or educational information about a healthful diet, 
 
sourcing food from local urban farms and gardens,
 
 not selling alcohol or tobacco products, or
 
demonstrating existing supply chain relationships or expertise in the grocery industry.
