A congressional charter is a law passed by the United States Congress that states the mission, authority and activities of a group. Congress issued federal charter s from 1791 until 1992 under Title 36 of the United States Code . The relationship between Congress and the organization is largely a symbolic honorific giving the organization the aura of being officially sanctioned by the U.S. government. However, Congress does not oversee or supervise organizations with the charter other than receiving a yearly financial statement . Amid dissatisfaction with the system, the subcommittee of the United States House Committee on the Judiciary House Judiciary Committee decided not to consider applications for further charters in 1992, though several were still granted thereafter. ref cite web url http www.llsdc.org attachments wysiwyg 544 CRS RL30340.pdf title Congressionally Charters Nonprofit Organizations Title 36 Corporations What They Are an ow Congress Treats Them publisher Congressional Research Service author Ronald C.
