lobbyists; political contributions prohibited

HB 2818 prohibits specific lobbying practices in Arizona. It bans lobbyists from being paid based on whether legislation passes (contingent fees), prevents former legislators from lobbying the legislature within one year of leaving office, and restricts lobbying by individuals who worked for political committees or candidates within the past year. The bill also prohibits lobbying a public body where the person previously held a procurement role within one year of leaving that position. These provisions directly affect professional lobbyists, former lawmakers, and political committee staff. The law aims to limit potential conflicts of interest by restricting certain post-employment lobbying activities.
