Lobbying reports name $3,005.92 in gifts to them in 2024 from 3 sources this statement doesn't list

Lobbyist employers' reports to the Secretary of State (Cal-Access) list activity expenses that benefited them in 2024, $50 or more from each of these sources, none named among the statement's gifts or travel: Association of California Life & Health Insurance Companies $2,804.20 (food, beverage & lodging (speaker exception), golf, food & b); CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION $107.72 (food and beverage); Reyes Holdings L.L.C. $94 (food, beverage, glassware).

What to check
  • Whether they attended or accepted it: the report is the lobbyist employer's account.
  • What Schedule D doesn't require (Form 700 instructions): gifts returned within 30 days; free admission and food at an event where they made a speech, from its organizer; up to two tickets to a campaign or 501(c)(3) fundraiser from the organization holding it; informational material; plaques worth less than $250.
  • Whether it's on the statement under another name.
  • That the report's beneficiary is this person (matched by name and office).

Context Behested payments

Of $25,000 paid at their request since 2024: 3 sources ($25,000) are registered lobbyist employers
