Lists $17,801 in gifts from Bowman and Brooke LLP in 2025; the limit from one source is $560
The statement lists 1 gift(s) from Bowman and Brooke LLP dated in 2025, totalling $17,801. Judges may not accept gifts from one source worth more than $560 a year (Code of Civil Procedure 170.9). The filer's comment on that page: “The investiture ceremony reception was paid for on April 10, 2025, and held on April 15, 2025.”.
What to check- Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
- Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
- The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.
