Free Speech Fairness Act

This bill lets tax‑exempt charities make limited comments about political campaigns as part of their normal work without losing their tax status. The comments must happen in the ordinary course of the group’s regular activities and cause only a very small extra cost. If those conditions are met, the charity is not treated as taking sides in a campaign just because of what it said.

The change would take effect for tax years that end after the bill becomes law.

Key points

• Who is affected: Tax‑exempt charities (like nonprofits and churches).
• What changes: They can make campaign‑related statements during their normal activities, as long as the added costs are minimal, without risking their tax‑exempt status.
• When: Applies to tax years ending after the law is enacted.
