The HARRIS Act of 2024 would change federal tax law to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits and charitable organizations that provide goods or services to undocumented immigrants or non-permanent residents. Currently, organizations like food banks, homeless shelters, and health clinics can operate as tax-exempt entities regardless of who they serve. This bill would require that tax-exempt organizations serve only U.S. citizens and permanent legal residents, or lose their tax-exempt status. The legislation would take effect for taxable years beginning after the bill's enactment, meaning affected organizations would immediately face decisions about whom they can serve while maintaining their tax benefits. This would significantly impact charities, religious organizations, and social service providers that currently assist vulnerable immigrant populations regardless of immigration status.
