What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Form 990 Immigrant Resettlement Schedule Act," aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It requires certain tax-exempt organizations to report information regarding their activities related to the resettlement or relocation of noncitizens into the United States. The reporting includes the total number of noncitizens assisted and their participation in Federal benefit programs. Organizations must also report the nature of their assistance or involvement. The Secretary of the Treasury will transmit an aggregate statistical report to Congress annually starting after 2028.
