Grassley proposes breach to allow charitable gifts in bankruptcy
Sen. Charles Grassley plans a bill to let debtors in bankruptcy set aside up to 15 percent of annual income for churches or charities. The measure aims to counter a Supreme Court ruling that obliged a Minnesota church to return 13500 in donations from a bankrupt couple who tithed 10 percent. The bill would cover past and future contributions in reorganizations and protect all charities from constitutional challenges. Local debate centers on whether creditors subsidize religious practice, with supporters arguing for relief and opponents warning of entanglement with faith.
