AI Summary
This bill, known as the End Dark Money Act, seeks to repeal a restriction on the use of funds by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) during fiscal year 2019 for regulations, revenue rulings, or other guidance related to the standard used to determine whether a tax-exempt organization, such as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare. This would allow the IRS to bring more transparency to the political activity of certain nonprofit organizations, which are often referred to as "dark money" groups due to their ability to engage in political campaigns without disclosing their donors.
