All Churches will now require a Federal registration number and permit to operate. All communion wafers will be by prescription only. Choir robes must be color-coordinated.
Does anyone know if there IS a section 1402(g)(1) in the Health Care Bill?

However, note that in not finding Section 1402(g)(1), I was able to find this:
The origins of the hijra calendar are recorded as having begun in AD 1402 on the Gregorian Calendar, so that the equivalent beginning of the hijra year 1 corresponds to 1402 in the Gregorian calendar:
“1402 A.H. began with the Lunation No. 728 in October 1981.
A conversion of Hijra years into the Gregorian calendar may be made using the following relationship:-
Christian Era (A.D.) = 621.54 + (Hijra in years and decimals) X 0.970225 “

There are references, but, nothing beyond a reference to IRS code that I can find, although there is language in the Health Care bill, as there has been for some time:
