Documented civil findings and settlements retain their exact parties, scope and outcomes.","Legislative announcements and introduced proposals are not enacted law. The September 2026 ASI proposal lacks a located filed identifier and full statutory text in this review.","The Voteview archive includes not-voting and present entries and excludes quorum calls and vacated votes; its latest captured vote is August 8, 2026.","Checked-on dates indicate review of a source or index reference, not necessarily acquisition of the full original. accessStatus and source notes identify unacquired documents and third-party mirrors."]},"record":{"id":"r3-fli-grant-leaves-2024","category":"organizations","title":"Leaves of Grass Fund reports $7,500 to FLI (2024)","date":"2024-12-31","period":"Tax year 2024; grantor filing submitted 2025-11-13","status":"Grantor-reported paid grant; recipient EIN corroborated separately","summary":"Leaves of Grass Fund reports a $7,500 grant paid during the year to Future of Life Institute.
