Roll Call offers this report (paid subscription required). A snippet: “Language to bring 527 groups under federal limits remains in a broader lobbying reform package that House Members are expected to wrap work on in the next few weeks. If that provision is not stripped from the bill–in the Rules Committee, on the House floor or in conference, assuming it passes–Senate Democrats could be forced to vote against broader lobbying reform to protect 527 groups’ unfettered fundraising.” Meanwhile, Bob Bauer is skeptical that a provision in the stand-alone 527 bill in the Senate could in fact insulate some 501(c) organizations from coverage as political committees. Interesting issue of statutory interpretation.
