§6711 Failure by Tax-exempt Organization to Disclose That Certain Information or Service Available From Federal Government

Summary

Requires a tax-exempt group that sells or asks for money for specific information or a routine service to tell people, in a clear and noticeable way, that the same information or service can be gotten from a federal agency for free or for a small fee. If the group fails to give that clear notice and the failure was intentional, the group must pay a penalty for each day the failure happened. The daily penalty is the larger of $1,000 or 50 percent of the total cost of the offers or solicitations that day that lacked the notice. "Tax-exempt organization" means groups described in section 501(c) or (d) and political organizations under section 527(e). What counts as a "day" follows rules like those in section 6710(d).
