Rule: Behested payments from donors or lobbyist employers

“Unlike gifts and contributions, there are no limits on the amount of payments an official may behest.”FPPC, Reporting Behested Payments – Form 803 ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Context Lobbying

34 of their donors and benefactors lobbied on 269 bills they voted on

Employers that lobbied on bills they voted on (as their lobbying reports name the bills) and that gave $141,850 to their campaign, $1,287 in gifts reported by lobbying interests, $165,500 in payments at their request. Largest: MORONGO BAND OF MISSION INDIANS ($85,900); SAN MANUEL BAND OF MISSION INDIANS ($36,000); ALTRIA CLIENT SERVICES LLC AND ITS AFFILIATES ($30,000); AGUA CALIENTE BAND OF CAHUILLA INDIANS ($19,300); SCOTTS VALLEY BAND OF POMO INDIANS ($16,000). They voted aye on 236 of the 269.

What to check

Context: lobbying a bill and funding a member are both legal and public.
A report names the bills an employer lobbied on, not which side it took: read the bill and the employer's position before drawing anything from a vote.
The bills on their page, sorted by how much these interests gave.
