To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to terminate the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations.
Plain Language Summary
# Bill Summary: HR 6800 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 6800 proposes to change federal tax law to remove tax-exempt status from organizations that support terrorism. Currently, organizations classified as tax-exempt under the Internal Revenue Code can avoid paying federal income taxes. This bill would allow the government to revoke that status for groups determined to support terrorist activities, potentially making them subject to regular tax obligations. **Who It Affects** The bill would directly impact nonprofit organizations, charities, and other tax-exempt entities that the government identifies as supporting terrorism. Indirectly, it could affect donors to these organizations, as donors would no longer receive tax deductions for contributions to groups that lose their exemption.
The bill could also affect individuals and groups suspected of terrorist support. **Current Status** HR 6800 was introduced by Representative David Kustoff (R-TN) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full floor vote. The bill has not been enacted into law. No specific key provisions beyond the general purpose were publicly available at the time of this summary.
