Under
tremendous pressure from Republicans and some Democrats, the IRS has
delayed issuing new rules governing the political activity of non-profit
groups. The agency received more than 150,000 comments on the rules -
the most in history.
The
rules were set to be examined later this summer in a public hearing.
Now, that's not going to happen and the new rules definitely won't take
effect until after the November mid-terms.
“Given
the diversity of views expressed and the volume of substantive input,
we have concluded that it would be more efficient and useful to hold a
public hearing after we publish the revised proposed regulation,” said
Bruce Friedland, an I.R.S. spokesman.
