In 2024, interest groups gave, for example, nearly $ 250,000 gifts to California legislators and spent over $ 820,000, traveling them during the world, according to annual financial transparency reports submitted in March. This is so less than they gave in 2023 When legislators received $ 330,000 gifts and more than $ 1.1 million for sponsored trips.

Sponsored trips
Organizations can pay for the trip of a selected employee to a destination within California or then for educational purposes, which often include a tour of a facility, a conference or learning a political issue. These organizations can also invite lobbyists or other guests to accompany the legislators of these trips, allowing special access that is often undisclosed to the publicS
In 2024, just as in 2022 and 2023A non -profit purpose, called the California Foundation for the Environment and Economy, also known as Cee, paid the most to take state legislators of travel to places including the United Kingdom, Vietnam and Taiwan.
