H.R. 9254: Stop Subsidizing Political Lawfare by Charities Act of 2026
This bill would change the federal tax status of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Under current law, organizations described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code are generally treated as tax-exempt charities. This bill says that the SPLC would not be treated as a 501(c)(3) organization.
What that would mean in practice
- The SPLC would no longer receive the federal tax treatment that applies to 501(c)(3) charities.
- Its income would be taxed instead of being exempt under that charity classification.
- The change would apply to taxable years ending after the date the bill becomes law.
What the bill does not do
- It does not change tax rules for charities generally.
- It does not create a new tax rule for other nonprofit groups by name.
- It does not describe any new restrictions on fundraising, operations, or activities beyond the tax-status change for the SPLC.
