        <ExplanationTxt>GLAD LAW ENGAGES IN LOBBYING ACTIVITIES TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE IRS. GLAD LAW HAS ELECTED TO BE COVERED BY THE RULES OF IRC SECTION 501(H) WITH REGARD TO THE LIMITATION OF THE AMOUNT OF GLAD LAW'S ALLOWABLE LOBBYING EXPENDITURES, APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO 9% OF GLAD LAW'S EXEMPT PURPOSE EXPENDITURES (ALLOWANCE IS THE TOTAL OF 20% OF THE FIRST $500,000, 15% OF NEXT $500,000, 10% OF THIRD $500,000, AND 5% OF THE REMAINDER). THE LOBBYING EXPENSES ARE HEAVILY MONITORED IN ORDER TO ENSURE GLAD LAW DOES NOT EXCEED THE 501(H) ELECTION LIMITATION. THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF COST CATEGORIES THAT LOBBY EXPENSES FALL INTO: CONTRACTED SERVICES, DIRECT COSTS, AND PERSONNEL ALLOCATION. GLAD LAW ALSO MONITORS LOBBYING ACTIVITY TO ENSURE THE ORGANIZATION AND OUR STAFF ARE REGISTERED APPROPRIATELY IN THE STATES WHERE WE WORK. MASSACHUSETTS REGULATIONS REQUIRE ANYONE PERFORMING 25 HOURS OR MORE OF LOBBYING ACTIVITY PER 6-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD TO REGISTER AS A LOBBYIST AND REPORT THEIR LOBBYING ACTIVITIES AND EXPENSES TWICE A YEAR. CURRENTLY, BEN KLEIN AND PATIENCE CROZIER ARE REGISTERED AS LOBBYISTS IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND GLAD LAW IS REGISTERED AS A LOBBYING ENTITY. MAINE REQUIRES REGISTRATION AND REPORTING FOR ANYONE PERFORMING 8 HOURS OR MORE OF LOBBYING ACTIVITY IN A MONTH. ONCE REGISTERED, LOBBYISTS MUST REPORT ALL LOBBYING ACTIVITY IN MAINE ON A MONTHLY BASIS. MARY BONAUTO, SARAH AUSTIN AND HANNAH HUSSEY ARE CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN MAINE. RHODE ISLAND REQUIRES REGISTRATION FOR THOSE DOING ANY LOBBYING, AND PATIENCE CROZIER IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED THERE, AND GLAD LAW IS REGISTERED AS A LOBBYING ENTITY. NEW HAMPSHIRE REQUIRES REGISTRATION FOR ANY AMOUNT OF DIRECT LOBBYING. WE HAVE REGISTERED CHRIS ERCHULL AND MICHAEL HALEY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. CONNECTICUT REQUIRES REGISTRATION IF A LOBBYIST WILL RECEIVE COMPENSATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000 PER YEAR OR MORE (NO GLAD LAW STAFF HAVE REACHED THIS THRESHOLD). VERMONT REQUIRES REGISTRATION AFTER 48 HOURS OF LOBBYING (NO GLAD LAW STAFF HAVE REACHED THIS THRESHOLD). PATIENCE CROZIER IS ALSO CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN COLORADO AND MICHIGAN. FOR CONTRACTED SERVICES RELATED TO EITHER DIRECT OR GRASSROOTS LOBBYING, IT IS A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD PROCESS IN DETERMINING THE LOBBY AMOUNT - WHATEVER THE COSTS ARE, 100% COUNTED AS LOBBYING EXPENSE. DIRECT LOBBY COSTS ARE DETERMINED USING THE REQUIRED REPORTS FILED WITH THE STATE ETHICS COMMISSIONS. STAFF TIME FOR DIRECT AND GRASSROOTS LOBBYING IS CONVERTED TO THE APPROPRIATE DOLLAR AMOUNTS USING A SIMILAR PROCESS TO HOW THE FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE SALARIES ARE BROKEN OUT. FOR EASE OF CALCULATION, WE CALCULATE 20% FOR BENEFITS AND 30% FOR OVERHEAD. THE ALLOCATION OF PERSONNEL TIME IS TRACKED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND MONITORED. REPORTS ARE FILED WITH STATE AGENCIES AS REQUIRED. IN FY26, GLAD LAW HAD DIRECT LOBBYING COSTS FROM WORK IN MASSACHUSETTS, RHODE ISLAND, NEW HAMPSHIRE, CONNECTICUT, MAINE, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO AND MARYLAND. THE FY25 LOBBYING AMOUNT EXCLUDES THE STATE AGENCIES LOBBYING - WHICH IS NOT CONSIDERED LOBBYING BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. GLAD LAW IS REPORTING ONLY 501(H) ACTIVITIES FOR THE FEDERAL 990. BY MARCH 31, 2026, GLAD LAW RECORDED $198,807 LOBBYING EXPENSES, OF WHICH $602 IS CONSIDERED INDIRECT LOBBYING.</ExplanationTxt>
