The bill trades clearer, more predictable solicitation rules for nonprofits and donors by removing ambiguous language, while increasing compliance and enforcement risk — and likely legal costs — for organizations that previously relied on the deleted limitation.
Nonprofits and campaigns face clearer, broader solicitation rules because the bill removes a conditional limitation that had created ambiguity about permitted solicitations.
Donors and taxpayers get more predictable application of solicitation law after Jan 1, 2025 because ambiguous qualifying language is eliminated.
Nonprofits and small-business owners that relied on the deleted limitation face greater compliance risk and exposure to enforcement for solicitations previously sheltered by that clause.
Nonprofits, small-business-owners, and taxpayers may incur higher legal and compliance costs (which could be passed on to donors or customers) because of increased enforcement risk or narrower exemptions.

Introduced February 18, 2025 by Mark E. Amodei · Last progress February 18, 2025
Deletes a qualifying clause in 52 U.S.C. § 30118(b)(4)(D) that began with the phrase "to the extent that" and all text following it, removing a conditional limitation or qualification that previously applied to solicitations. The deletion changes how that subsection applies to solicitations made on or after January 1, 2025. No new agencies, funding, or procedural deadlines are created; the bill only provides a citation short title in a separate section.
