FOR THE FIRST TIME, GCCA DEVELOPED A SPECIFIC LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL AND LOBBIED CONGRESS IN SUPPORT OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL. THESE EFFORTS RESULTED IN THE INTRODUCTION OF H.R. 4612 AND S. 2570, THE FRIDGE ACT. GCCA STAFF MET NUMEROUS TIMES WITH CONGRESSIONAL OFFICES IN SUPPORT OF THE LEGISLATION. LOWELL RANDEL, GCCA SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF GOVERNMENT AND LEGAL AFFAIRS SPENT APPROXIMATELY 25 PERCENT OF HIS TIME DURING 2023 DEVELOPING AND EXECUTING LOBBYING ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE FRIDGE ACT. GCCA ALSO CONDUCTED A GRASSROOTS LOBBYING CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF THE FRIDGE ACT UTILIZING THE ONE CLICK POLITICS PLATFORM. GCCA UTILIZES THE ONE CLICK POLITICS PLATFORM FOR MULTIPLE PURPOSES. THE MAJORITY OF ACTIVITIES UNDER THE ONE CLICK POLITICS PLATFORM ARE NON-LOBBYING, SUCH AS MANAGING POLICY CONTENT AND UPDATES ON THE INTERNET AND NEWSLETTER DISTRIBUTION. IN 2023, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 25 PERCENT OF ONE CLICK POLITICS EXPENDITURES CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO LOBBYING WORK RELATED TO THE FRIDGE ACT. 36600 36600 573400 428111 145289 830755 308754 522001 1653824 1105505 548319 1252209 ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE 9293 SECURITY DEPOSITS 17852 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 17003 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 876062 DUE FROM RELATED PARTIES 210800 1131010 LEASE LIABILITY 1321485 LINE OF CREDIT 250000 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 17003 POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS PAYABLE 127924 1716412 X 6749728 0 6749728 18379 18379 6768107 6695554 0 6695554 18379 18379 6713933 PART X, LINE 2: THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THAT GUIDANCE, THE ASSOCIATION MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. EXAMPLES OF TAX POSITIONS INCLUDE THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF THE ASSOCIATION AND VARIOUS POSITIONS RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL SOURCES OF UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX (UBIT). THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THERE WERE NO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IDENTIFIED OR RECORDED AS LIABILITIES FOR THE YEAR THEN ENDED. THE ASSOCIATION'S POLICY WOULD BE TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, ON TAX POSITIONS RELATED TO ITS UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. NO INTEREST AND PENALTIES WERE ASSESSED OR RECORDED DURING THE YEAR THEN ENDED.
