VisitHouse GOP's Bill H.R. 9495 Could Strip Nonprofits' Tax-Exempt Status, Empower Trump Administration
Nov 18, 2024, 08:18 PM
A new bill, H.R. 9495, has sparked controversy as it proposes to empower the Trump administration to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits. Over 130 civil liberties and other organizations have opposed the bill, arguing that it would allow any administration to target nonprofits without due process. The House GOP is reviving the bill, which requires the IRS to investigate nonprofits suspected of funneling money to terrorist organizations. Critics, including Democrats in Congress, warn that this legislation could silence groups advocating for human rights and justice, labeling them as supporters of terrorism. The bill is currently being voted on in committee. Opponents describe it as a dangerous expansion of executive power.
