Strengthen due process protections for non-profit organizations

To: Sen. Crapo, Rep. Fulcher, Pres. Biden, Sen. Risch

From: A constituent in Coeur D Alene, ID

November 16

I understand your concerns regarding the potential abuse of power in designating non-profit organizations as "terrorist supporting organizations." This provision gives the Secretary of Treasury broad discretion to make such determinations with limited oversight. While intended to cut off funding for terrorist groups, it could be weaponized against legitimate organizations for political purposes. I urge you to consider amending the bill to include stronger due process protections and judicial review requirements before terminating an organization's tax-exempt status. Unchecked authority over civil society groups poses risks to free speech and association. We should combat terrorism through lawful means that uphold constitutional principles.
