This bill suspends the tax-exempt status of terrorist supporting organizations. The bill defines terrorist supporting organization as any organization designated as having provided (during the three-year period prior to its designation) material support or resources to a terrorist organization in excess of a de minimis amount.
The Department of the Treasury must provide notice to such organizations of the impending designation and an opportunity to cure. Treasury must rescind a designation that it determines was erroneous or if the organization did not receive notice of designation.
The bill provides for administrative review by the Internal Revenue Service Independent Office of Appeals of any dispute regarding a designation of an organization as a terrorist supporting organization. The U.S. district courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to review any such designation.
