Fair Treatment of Religious Organizations Act of 2026
Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill changes how the IRS decides if an organization’s purpose is religious, ignoring any beliefs about marriage, sexuality, or gender identity. It also bars federal departments from discriminating against religious employers that receive grants, loans, or other aid for hiring people who share their faith. The goal is to protect religious nonprofits from bias in tax status and federal funding.
