Modifies provisions for public protest and false imprisonment
HB 2555 modifies public protest rules and clarifies lobbying definitions. It requires assembly protesters to yield to vehicles on roadways and pedestrians on walkways, except when a political subdivision grants a special permit closing the roadway. The bill also defines key terms for lobbyists, including "executive lobbyist" (covering those paid or designated to influence government action) and "general lobbyist" (for those compensated to organize protests), while specifying what counts as a lobbying-related "expenditure." It excludes certain activities like routine tax filings, campaign contributions, or de minimis gifts from the definition of lobbying spending.
