(Bloomberg) —President Donald Trump is poised to take actions aimed at giving churches and religious groups greater leeway to engage in politics without risking their tax-exempt status, according to two White House officials.

An announcement on an executive action by Trump may come as soon as Thursday to coincide with the National Day of Prayer, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because plans haven’t been made final. Trump on Wednesday night was hosting a dinner with members of the White House Evangelical Advisory Board.

The president also may act on an another complaint from faith groups by expanding waivers for religious-affiliated hospitals and universities to exempt them from a requirement under the Affordable Care Act that they provide insurance coverage for birth control to their employees, according to one of the officials.

A draft of the executive action on Wednesday didn’t include language exempting religious organizations from Obama-era regulations requiring protections for gay men, lesbians and others, according to the official.

As he sought support from evangelical voters during the campaign, Trump promised to “totally destroy” a decades-old provision of the tax code that prevents religious leaders from endorsing candidates from the pulpit. Religious leaders have long complained that the provision restricts their free speech.

Eliminating the 1954 measure known as the Johnson Amendment — which bars many tax-exempt organizations from directly endorsing candidates for office — would require action by Congress and it wasn’t clear what Trump would do to bypass the law. While prodding Congress for its repeal, he could direct the Internal Revenue Service to used greater discretion in pursuing tax violations by members of the clergy involved in political activity.

Shortly after taking office Trump reiterated his vow to roll back the restriction.

“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and openly without fear of retribution,” Trump said at his first National Prayer Breakfast. “I will do that, remember.”
