Lobbying; require lobbyists with a material financial interest in an issue or bill to register with legislative officers.

SB 2089 would have required lobbyists with a material financial interest in a bill or issue to submit written disclosure to the Lieutenant Governor, Speaker of the House, and relevant committee chairs before a bill is voted on in the full Senate or House. It specifically targets lobbyists representing businesses that could financially benefit from legislative action, mandating transparency about their financial stake. The bill defined "material financial interest" broadly to include direct benefits like payments, property, or employment opportunities tied to legislation. This bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
