Findings
Worth a look Lobbying · the statement
PECO ENERGY COMPANY reported $1,500 in gifts to them in 2024; the statement doesn't list it
PECO ENERGY COMPANY's lobbying expense reports name this official as receiving Contribution to non-profit Norristown Zoological Society for Family Night ($1,500, 2024-09-26). Principals name an official once their gifts reach $250 in a year, or hospitality passes $650 (65 Pa.C.S. § 13A05(b)(3)), the same thresholds at which the official lists them (§ 1105(b)(6)–(7)). The statement for 2024 lists no gift or hospitality from them.
What to check- Whether the statement lists it under another name (a parent company, the lobbying firm, the charity it went to)
- Whether the report's recipient is this person (name and position as written)
- Whether an amended statement adds it
