What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Free Speech Fairness Act," proposes an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to allow charitable organizations to make statements related to political campaigns. These statements must be made in the ordinary course of carrying out the organization's tax-exempt purpose. Additionally, the statements must result in the organization incurring no more than de minimis incremental expenses. The change would apply to taxable years ending after the date the Act is enacted.
