Lobbying activity

FPPC lobbying disclosures whose activity descriptions mention AB 840, scoped to filings whose coverage period extends through or beyond this bill's introduction date.

Note: CalAccess lobby filings reference bills by measure number only — no session tag. When the same measure number has existed in earlier sessions (e.g. a previously chaptered bill still being lobbied on for implementation), some of those filings may appear here even though they relate to a different bill. Use the activity descriptions to disambiguate.
