What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Stop Subsidizing Political Lawfare by Charities Act of 2026," targets the Southern Poverty Law Center. It specifies that the organization shall not be treated as a section 501(c)(3) entity under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This change would apply to taxable years ending after the Act is enacted. The legislation was introduced by Mr. Roy and several others.
