## Summary

**Support for tax-exempt fraternal benefit societies.** This concurrent resolution would recognize fraternal benefit societies as long‑standing mutual aid organizations that provide life, health, accident, and other member benefits through local volunteer chapters. It notes about 7,000,000 members and estimates their charitable giving, educational programs, and volunteer work produce roughly $3.8 billion in societal value each year. The resolution affirms the 1909 tax exemption now in section 501(c)(8), says the model helps meet local needs and eases pressure on government safety nets, and calls for continued promotion of these societies.
