Bills in the 116th Congress, HR 1223 by House Majority Whip Clyburn (D-SC) and HR 513 by Representative Conaway (R-TX), would repeal the transportation tax for nonprofit organizations. A bipartisan bill, "Lessen Impediments From Taxes for Charities Act" or the "LIFT for Charities Act" (S.632) was introduced in the Senate by Senators Lankford (R-OK) and Coons (D-DE).
