Maryland Public Ethics Law - Regulated Lobbyists - Reporting Requirements

HB 1360 updates Maryland's lobbying reporting requirements under the Public Ethics Law. It modifies the deadlines for regulated lobbyists to file annual reports - requiring filings by February 15, March 15, May 31, and November 30 each year - to cover specific reporting periods. The bill specifies detailed categories of information lobbyists must disclose, including compensation, office expenses, meals for officials, and other lobbying-related expenditures. These changes directly affect entities registered as lobbyists under Maryland law who influence legislative or executive actions. The bill focuses on clarifying and adjusting reporting timelines and content without altering lobbyist registration thresholds.
