From the James Madison Center:

According to Roll Call: A measure to curb the independent political groups known as 527s will be included in the House version of a lobbying bill that is slated for a vote this week, senior GOP aides said Tuesday. The decision by House Republicans to include the off-again, on-again language promises to intensify an already charged partisan debate on ethics rules. It also sets up a clash with Senate Democrats, who have threatened to filibuster any package that includes the provision.

From the Alliance for Justice: Conference Call for 501(c) Sector: Why 501(c)s should be concerned about 527 Reform legislation Proposals to reform the political nonprofits known as “527s” are once again moving through Congress. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 513, the 527 Reform Act of 2006, and similar 527 reform legislation may be added as an amendment to the House’s final lobbying reform bill. While 527 reform was not included in the Senate’s lobbying reform package, the Senate is expected to address 527 Reform later this spring.

FYI: Rules Committee allows for amendments to be submitted. The Rules Committee has announced that it may grant a rule limiting amendments and that members who wish to offer amendments should submit them to the Rules Committee by 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 25. The text of the bill.
