The Association is, however, subject to taxes on income unrelated to its business purpose. There was no unrelated business income received by the Association during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Accordingly, the accompanying combined financial statements do not include a provision for federal and state income taxes. The Association recognizes interest expense and penalties on income taxes related to uncertain tax positions in general and administration expenses on the combined statement of activities and changes in net assets. There is no provision in these combined financial statements for penalties and interest on income taxes related to uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The PAC is subject to tax on interest income under Internal Revenue Code Section 527. There was no interest income received by the PAC during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Management believes that tax years prior to 2020 are no longer subject to examination by the IRS. GAAP requires entities to evaluate, measure, recognize and disclose any uncertain income tax positions taken on their tax returns. GAAP prescribes a minimum threshold that a tax position is required to meet in order to be recognized in the combined financial statements. The Association and the PAC believes that it had no uncertain tax positions as defined in GAAP. false ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL OF STATES INC 1250 H STREET NW 850 washington DC 20005 363962169 501(C)(6) 40000 event sponsorship NARUC 1101 VERMONT NW 200 Washington DC 20005 530204609 501(C)(4)501( 25000 event sponsorship NASUCA 8380 COLESVILLE 101 Silver spring Silver spring MD 20910 591986067 501(C)(4) 10000 event sponsorship American Gas Association 400 N CAPITOL ST NW 450 WASHINGTON DC 200011503 130431590 501(c)(6) 9106 EVENT SPONSORSHIP NMSU Foundation PO Box 3590 Las Cruces NM 880033590 850170157 501(c)(3) 6000 EVENT SPONSORSHIP Western Conference of Public Service Commissioners 645 FAIRHAVEN ROAD TRACYS LANDING MD 20779 455529620 501(C)(3) 7500 EVENT SPONSORSHIP 2 4 X true true X X X false false false ROBERT F POWELSON PRESIDENT & CEO 644260 0 0 0 0 0 30500 0 24463 0 699223 0 0 0 JENN KOCHER VP OF COMM & MARKETING 221283 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24463 0 245746 0 0 0 RIKARDO HULL EXEC.
