Bill would remove tax-exempt status from the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The problem
Some believe the SPLC misuses its tax-exempt nonprofit designation. Supporters argue the organization makes inaccurate designations affecting organizations and individuals.
The proposal
The bill would revoke the SPLC's tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Code sections, preventing it from operating as a tax-exempt organization.
The impact
The SPLC would lose tax benefits and donor deductions. Donors, the organization, and groups it monitors would be affected differently based on perspectives.
Proponents argue tax-exempt organizations should face consequences if they misuse their status. They contend the SPLC should be held accountable like other organizations.
The bill allows Congress to address concerns about specific organizations. This direct method lets lawmakers respond to particular cases.
Supporters say taxpayers shouldn't subsidize organizations they believe act irresponsibly. Removing tax benefits reduces indirect public funding.
Critics warn targeting specific organizations sets a dangerous precedent. Congress removing tax status based on disagreement could suppress nonprofit advocacy.
Opponents question why only the SPLC faces this action. They argue similar bills should apply equally across ideological organizations.
Free speech advocates worry this punishes organizations for their speech and viewpoints. Tax status removal could be seen as government retaliation.
The bill removes authority from IRS procedures designed to evaluate nonprofit status. Using legislation instead creates unpredictable rules.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
