by Kay Guinane, 7/25/2004
On July 22 the Senate Finance Committee held a closed door roundtable discussion with leaders and experts on the charitable sector to discuss a bipartisan staff proposal for reforms.
Committee Chair Charles Grassley (R-IA) told the group he expects some legislation on reform to go forward this fall, while other proposals need more refinement. Grassley's remarks indicated that he recognizes "the need to balance reforms with the burden it places." The roundtable was attended by authors of white papers submitted to the committee. A list of participants and links to the white papers are posted on the committee website. BNA quoted one participant as saying the session was helpful in reviewing a broad range of issues.
