Requires certain persons to register and report as governmental affairs agents.

This bill establishes new registration and reporting rules for individuals and organizations in New Jersey who act as governmental affairs agents. It defines a governmental affairs agent as anyone who receives compensation to influence legislation or regulations by communicating directly with lawmakers, the Governor, or executive branch staff. The law requires these agents to register if they are paid more than $100 in expenses over three months or receive compensation from a non-employer source to influence government processes. Additionally, the bill clarifies that reproducing or excerpting communications intended for government officials and distributing them to those officials counts as a direct communication with the state.
