What it does
This bill changes the tax code. It says tax breaks are not federal money. Groups with tax breaks would not have to follow rules that apply to groups getting federal money. The bill also says this change does not undo past tax breaks.

Nonprofits, religious groups, and retirement plans would be affected. They might not have to follow some federal rules. But they might also lose some protections.
One thing to notice
The bill could let nonprofits skip rules about fair treatment and money reports that other groups must follow.
