Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, has been appointed to a panel of Legal Experts to address key legal issues affecting nonprofit organizations. At the request of Iowa Senator Charles Grassley, The Commission on Accountability and Policy for Religious Organizations selected a total of 66 panelists in an effort to analyze and present information on major accountability and policy issues affecting religious and nonprofit groups, which were addressed in Senator Grassley’s staff report in January.

The Commission was established at Sen. Grassley’s request by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, a national financial accreditation organization for churches and other religious organizations. The three panels include 23 Legal Experts, 25 Religious Sector Representatives, and 18 Nonprofit Organization Representatives.

Issues before the Commission include whether churches should be more accountable to the federal government, if legislation is needed to curb perceived abuses of the clergy housing allowance exclusion, whether the current prohibition against political campaign intervention by churches and other nonprofits should be repealed or modified, whether the rules for determining the reasonableness of nonprofit executive compensation should be tightened, and whether penalties should be expanded for nonprofits and their leaders who engage in prohibited activities. The input gathered from the panelists will be used in determining how Sen. Grassley should respond to the issues being addressed.
