Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill penalizes nonprofit organizations whose officers or board members are convicted of specific federal crimes. Specifically, if a nonprofit leader is convicted of assaulting a federal officer (Section 111) or inciting a riot (Section 2101), the entire organization loses eligibility for federal funding and loses its tax-exempt status. The penalties apply only when the criminal conduct occurred while the person was serving in their leadership role at the nonprofit. The bill has no specified funding or implementation timeline, as it primarily functions as a restriction on existing federal funds and tax benefits rather than appropriating new money. The legislation would affect thousands of nonprofits nationwide that currently receive federal grants or maintain tax-exempt status, though the actual impact would depend on future criminal convictions of nonprofit leaders.
