lobbyists; political contributions prohibited

HB 2892 prohibits certain lobbying activities by restricting who can lobby and under what conditions. It specifically bans individuals who worked for political committees (like campaign committees or PACs) within the year before a legislative session from lobbying the legislature during that session. The bill also prohibits contingent-fee lobbying (where payment depends on bill outcomes), lobbying by former legislators or public employees within one year of leaving their roles, and improper influence attempts through a legislator's employer. These provisions directly affect lobbyists, political committee staff, former lawmakers, and public employees with procurement roles. The law aims to reduce conflicts of interest by limiting access to lawmakers for those with recent ties to political campaigns.
