The Fair Treatment of Religious Organizations Act of 2026 amends the Internal Revenue Code to ensure fair treatment of religious organizations by clarifying that religious beliefs or practices concerning marriage, sexuality, or gender identity are not treated as inconsistent with law or public policy. This change ensures that such beliefs are not disqualified from tax-exempt status simply because they are not central to a system of religion. The amendments apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
