Why the bill is problematic:
Excessive Power and Lack of Oversight: The bill grants the Treasury Secretary sweeping authority to target and revoke nonprofit tax-exempt status based on vague or secretive information, threatening due process and transparency.
Chilling Effect on Advocacy: Organizations may hesitate to engage in legitimate advocacy or provide essential services due to the fear of losing their tax-exempt status.
Impact on Vulnerable Communities: The bill risks destabilizing vital support networks for marginalized communities, particularly those who rely on nonprofits for advocacy and resources.
