2024: Fitzpatrick Voted To Suspend The Tax-Exempt Status Of Entities
That Provide Support To Terrorist Organizations. In April 2024,
Fitzpatrick voted for , according to Congressional Quarterly, "the bill,
as amended, that would expand the authority of the Treasury Department
to suspend the tax-exempt status of entities that provide material
support to listed terrorist organizations. It would require the Treasury
Department to send a written notice to an organization before
designating it as a terrorist-supporting organization. It would require
the department, after the close of a 90-day period beginning on the date
such notice was sent, to designate such organization as a
terrorist-supporting organization if the organization has not
demonstrated that it did not provide support to a terrorist organization
or has certified it will not provide further support and has made
reasonable efforts to have such support returned. It also would
establish administrative review procedures for an organization to
challenge its designation as a terrorist-supporting organization with
the IRS Independent Office of Appeals, which may be appealed in a U.S.
district court." The vote was on passage. The House passed the bill by a
vote of 382 to 11. [House Vote 121,
