S. 3479, called the "No Tax Exemptions For Terror Act," would strip the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of its tax-exempt status under federal law. Currently, CAIR operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, meaning donations to it are tax-deductible and the organization itself does not pay federal income taxes. This bill would end that status, requiring CAIR to pay taxes on its income and making donations to it non-deductible for donors. The legislation would take effect for tax years ending after the law is enacted, with no specific funding requirements. The bill was introduced in December 2025 by Senators Rick Scott of Florida and Marsha Blackburn and has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee.
