Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter Amendments Act of 2025

This bill updates the rules for the Foundation of the Federal Bar Association, a legally recognized organization. It moves many decisions — like where the organization is based, how members join, and how officers are elected — out of the federal charter and into the organization's own bylaws, giving its board of directors more flexibility. The bill also sets new rules about how the organization can spend its money, including allowing reasonable pay and expense reimbursements for officers and employees, while banning directors, officers, members, and employees from getting loans from the organization and prohibiting directors and officers from using their roles to participate in political activities. If the organization ever shuts down, any leftover money or property would be distributed as the board decides, rather than being sent to the U.S. Treasury.
