Shane T. Hamilton is quoted in an article about the tax rules that the IRS applies to aid provided by charities in response to disasters and other hardships. Commenting on the restrictions the IRS faces under current law in allowing charities to assist smaller needy groups or individuals as opposed to a large class of victims, Shane comments "I think it's an area where it would be very helpful to have some generalized legislation so we wouldn't have to deal with these [issues] every single time."
