him to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 14, setting forth the
congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year

At the end of title III, add the following:

PROTECTING ORGANIZATIONS FROM TARGETING BY THE
IRS BASED ON THEIR RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL
BELIEFS.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,
aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution,
and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or
more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between
the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to
strengthening taxpayer protections and ensuring neutral and
unbiased review by the Internal Revenue Service of
applications for nonprofit status, which may include barring
Internal Revenue Service agents from associating religious
beliefs with a particular political party, prohibiting
Internal Revenue Service agents from inappropriately
targeting and screening applicants for tax-exempt status
based on a bias toward the organization's political or
religious beliefs, and establishing a process to review and
rectify potential instances of political bias in the
nonprofit status determination process, by the amounts
provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided
that such legislation would not increase the deficit over
either the period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through
2026 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2022 through
2031.
