Summary of Bill HR 3918
Bill 117 hr 3918, also known as the "Federal Trade Commission Act Enforcement Against Tax-Exempt Organizations Act," aims to amend the Federal Trade Commission Act to allow the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce the Act against certain tax-exempt organizations.
Currently, the FTC is limited in its ability to take action against tax-exempt organizations, such as non-profit organizations and charities, for deceptive or unfair practices. This bill seeks to remove this limitation and empower the FTC to hold these organizations accountable for any violations of the Act.
If passed, the bill would give the FTC the authority to investigate and take enforcement actions against tax-exempt organizations that engage in deceptive or unfair practices, such as false advertising or fraud. This would help protect consumers from being misled or harmed by these organizations. Overall, the purpose of Bill 117 hr 3918 is to ensure that tax-exempt organizations are held to the same standards as other businesses when it comes to consumer protection. It aims to strengthen the FTC's ability to enforce the law and protect consumers from deceptive practices.
