Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., says that he and two campaign finance watchdog groups will file a lawsuit against the IRS over the agency’s policy of granting tax-exempt status to “social welfare” groups, because, he says, the IRS rules conflict with the law.
From the Huffington Post:
Van Hollen said he and watchdog groups Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 would sue to clarify an IRS regulation that he said was at odds with the law, which requires certain groups to “exclusively” engage in social welfare to earn nonprofit status. The IRS regulation permitting groups “primarily” engaged in social welfare allows the organizations to participate in an undefined amount of political activity, said the congressman, a leading advocate of campaign finance reform and ranking member of the House Budget Committee.
