The proposed legislation, known as the "Freedom to Petition the Government Act," seeks to amend the District of Columbia Official Code to redefine what activities constitute "doing business" within the District. Its primary purpose is to ensure that specific interactions between nonprofit organizations and the federal government do not trigger local registration obligations. Specifically, the bill stipulates that for tax-exempt nonprofit organizations (those described in section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), holding a meeting with a Member of Congress or other federal official will not be considered "doing business." This exemption applies only when such meetings occur at a location owned or leased by the Federal Government within the District of Columbia.
