Ashley Moody received a $38,000 campaign donation from Cambria. Moody subsequently sponsored the Protection of Lawful Commerce Act, which seeks to protect corporations from civil lawsuits. The legislation relates to concerns over engineered stone and occupational lung disease, silicosis, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned about.
