Key Transparency Question
Total the Coalition could legally lobby under federal law:
$14,097.65
The Coalition reported $13,851.00 in lobbying expenditures on its IRS Form 990.
State filings submitted by registered lobbyists disclose the compensation they received for lobbying activity on behalf of the organization.
If real-world lobbying expenditures exceed the allowable 5% threshold, this could raise compliance questions under federal tax law governing 501(c)(3) organizations.
Any discrepancies between sworn federal filings and sworn state filings warrant reconciliation and independent review.
