H.R. 6800 would amend the tax code to allow the Treasury Secretary to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations that provide material support to designated terrorist groups. Under the bill, organizations that provide more than a minimal amount of support to terrorist entities within a three-year period could be designated as "terrorist supporting organizations" and lose their tax benefits. Before making such a designation, the Treasury Secretary must notify the organization in writing and give it 90 days to either prove it didn't provide the support, return the support and certify it won't do so again, or challenge the government's evidence in court. Organizations can appeal Treasury's decision through the IRS appeals process and can seek judicial review in federal court, with protections for classified national security information. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment for any future designations.
