Provides that if notice is given after such period, the organization shall not be so treated for any period before such notice is given. Requires, in the case of an organization failing to give such notice, such organization's taxable income to be computed by taking into account any exempt function income (and any deductions directly connected with the production of such income). Excepts certain organizations from the notification requirement.

Makes information on organizations that file such notices, and such notices, publicly available.

Prescribes monetary penalties for failures to meet certain public availability requirements.

Grants existing organizations to whom this Act applies 30 days after this Act's enactment date to file a notice.

Prohibits treating an organization as a political organization unless it makes required disclosures.

Makes such disclosures publicly available and prescribes monetary penalties for failures to make disclosures available for inspection.

Requires political organizations which have gross receipts of $25,000 or more per taxable year, with an exception, to file tax returns. Provides for public disclosure of such returns and prescribes monetary penalties for failures to file or provide correct information.
