Note: CalAccess lobby filings cite bills by measure number only. Totals for this session may include payments related to implementation of earlier bills sharing the same code (e.g. a previously chaptered "SB 54" still being lobbied on as a new "SB 54" moves through this session). The bill detail page surfaces the underlying filings so the activity descriptions can be inspected.
