SF 2711 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Legislator lobbying activities prohibition provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's prohibition on legislators engaging in certain lobbying-related activities. It directly affects sitting Minnesota legislators by expanding restrictions on accepting employment or compensation from businesses primarily involved in lobbying, government relations, or facilitating government affairs services. Key provisions clarify that legislators cannot work for businesses whose main revenue comes from these services, including those that connect third parties in government relations, and the ban applies regardless of where the business operates. The amendment requires legislative bodies to establish rules for enforcing these restrictions.
