Findings
Context Gifts · the statement
Lists 1 source of gifts, worth $5,000
Block 11 lists gifts received in 2023: Milwaukee Tools ($5,000). Pennsylvania has no gift limit; the Ethics Act requires listing them (65 Pa.C.S. § 1105(b)(6)–(7)).
What to check- Whether any giver is a registered lobbyist or lobbying principal
- Whether the same giver appears in other years
Gifts: Milwaukee Tools $5,000
Rule: Gifts, travel and hospitality listed
“The name and address of the source and the amount of any gift or gifts valued in the aggregate at $250 or more and the circumstances of each gift.”65 Pa.C.S. § 1105(b)(6) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
