Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter Amendments Act of 2025
This act revises the federal charter for the Foundation of the Federal Bar Association to shift authority from the charter to the bylaws.
Specifically, it makes the following changes:
removes the requirement for the foundation to be incorporated and domiciled in the District of Columbia;
requires the board of directors to decide, and specify in the bylaws, the location of the principal office;
specifies that the bylaws—not the charter—must provide for the terms of membership, the responsibilities of the board of directors, and the election of officers;
prohibits a director or officer, in his or her corporate capacity, from contributing to, supporting, or participating in political activities;
allows income and assets of the corporation to be used to reasonably compensate or reimburse expenses of an officer, director, or member; to award a grant to the Federal Bar Association chapter of an officer, director, or member; and to reasonably compensate employees;
expands a prohibition on loans for directors and officers to include members and employees; and
specifies that on dissolution or final liquidation, any remaining assets must be distributed as provided by the board of directors instead of deposited in the Treasury.

Ideology is each member’s score. The most moderate members of each party sit nearest the center line and highest on the chart. 2 representatives without a DW-NOMINATE score or with insufficient data are not plotted.
Not applicable in the House. There is not enough similar voting history (weight 3.0 of 5.0 needed), so this input is left out of the score rather than counted as missing.
