Sen. Bill Frist released his "Top Ten" Legislative Goals for the 108th Congress. Looks like the CARE Act is in the spotlight again. Click here for Frist's Top Ten list. You can get the .pdf with the decription of the proposed language on Sen. Frist's site. Among their legislative priorities is the Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment Act -- better known as "CARE." The bill seeks to encourage charitable giving through tax incentives, a move that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) said represents part of the President's faith-based program. The CARE Act would also supply $150 million annually to provide technical assistance to small community and faith-based organizations to help expand their capacity to serve. The legislation proposed Monday also includes an additional $1.3 billion in funding for Social Services Block Grants, which had been stripped from the bill during the last session of Congress. That change ultimately played a part in the legislation's failure to pass. The Republican list also calls for reauthorization of the 1996 welfare reform law, including $300 million annually for healthy marriage programs for counseling, education and research. Another $75 million is allocated yearly for programs that promote responsible fatherhood. Faith-based groups are expected to be among the service providers of these programs.
