An Act relative to municipal lobbying

HD 2113 regulates municipal lobbying in cities with over 150,000 residents (based on the latest census). It requires "municipal agents" (lobbyists for city officials) to register annually ($50 fee), submit detailed quarterly reports disclosing clients, specific bills influenced, compensation received, and expenditures, and prohibits contingent fees (payment based on outcome). The bill defines "municipal lobbying" as influencing city decisions on ordinances, regulations, or appointments, and mandates disclosure of all lobbying activities regardless of whether specific bills were referenced. This applies to agents working for mayors, councilors, or department heads in large cities, creating new transparency requirements for municipal lobbying.
