Findings
Worth a look Lobbying · the statement
Pennsylvania Family Council reported $699 in transportation, lodging or hospitality to them in 2025; the statement doesn't list it
Pennsylvania Family Council's lobbying expense reports name this official as receiving payment ($699, 2025-04-18). 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 2025 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
Travel, lodging & hospitality: Pennsylvania Family Council $699
Rule: Lobbying gifts not on the statement
“identify, by name, position and each occurrence, a State official or employee who receives from a principal or lobbyist anything of value which must be included in the statement under section 1105(b)(6) or (7)”65 Pa.C.S. § 13A05(b)(3) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
