- expands the definition of organization to include tax-exempt charitable organizations and organizations with no significant activities relating to lobbying, political activity, and the operation of a trade or business;
- exempts from disclosure the names and addresses of contributors to an organization in its annual informational return; and
- extends exemptions from reporting requirements to political action committees (i.e., 527 organizations).
