TYLER, TX – Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief in U.S. District Court urging a federal judge to adopt a proposed consent decree between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and several religious organizations that would allow speech in churches regarding political candidates. In July 2025, the IRS agreed to a settlement with the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) and two Baptist churches in Texas, which challenged the 1954 Johnson Amendment that prohibits tax-exempt organizations from participating in political campaigns. While the IRS agreed not to enforce the Johnson Amendment against these ministries citing First Amendment protections, the consent decree must receive federal court approval to take effect.
