Establishes "Local Governmental Process Activities Disclosure Act."
The "Local Governmental Process Activities Disclosure Act" (A186) requires paid governmental affairs agents who seek to influence local government decisions to disclose their activities. Agents must file notices of representation with the Election Law Enforcement Commission before influencing local measures, regulations, or processes, and submit quarterly activity reports and annual reports detailing their spending. The bill limits gifts to local officials to $250 per year and requires written reports of benefits provided to officials by February 1 each year. This law applies to all local government levels including municipalities, counties, authorities, and school districts, increasing transparency about who influences local government decisions.
