Bill Summary

Urges Congress to investigate the IRS allegations concerning the Exempt Organizations Unit.

AI Summary

This Resolution calls upon the United States Congress, specifically the House of Representatives and the Senate, to conduct a thorough investigation into allegations of misconduct by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), particularly concerning its Exempt Organizations Unit. This unit was reportedly responsible for a "Target: Tea Party" initiative that subjected nonprofit organizations seeking tax-exempt status to excessive delays and intrusive questioning, raising concerns about potential violations of federal law and the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Bill of Rights, such as privacy and freedom from unreasonable searches. The Resolution further suggests that if these congressional investigations uncover evidence of unlawful conduct by high-ranking IRS officials, a special prosecutor, independent of the Department of Justice, should be appointed to continue the case and ensure justice. The Resolution also reaffirms the commitment to the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and outlines the distribution of this resolution to various federal and state officials.
