Dislikes

This proposal grants special recognition to a single named organization, rather than establishing uniform criteria applicable to all similarly situated volunteer groups. Elevating one entity in statute creates unequal treatment and invites arbitrary distinctions. If such status is warranted, it should be based on objective standards open to all qualified organizations—not limited to one.
