Expresses the sense of Congress that fraternal benefit societies are long‑standing mutual aid organizations that provide financial benefits to members and large amounts of volunteer time and community charitable value, and that their federal tax‑exempt status under section 501(c)(8) continues to deliver public benefits and should be supported.
