The package of bills is aimed at bringing targeted reforms to the FTC and addressing some emerging technologies in the marketplace. ASAE argues that the nonprofit sector is already regulated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and does not require another oversight agency. The FTC, which oversees businesses and for-profit corporations, is inexperienced in nonprofit governance and is not the correct agency to regulate the business practices of nonprofits, ASAE said.
