That sentence, in plain words

The group may not take part in politics. That covers what it does, its money, and the things it owns. It also may not try to sway new law.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
