A 7456 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to lobbying for the confirmation of persons to state office

This bill (A 7456) requires lobbyists to register and disclose details about efforts to influence the nomination or confirmation of individuals for state offices that require Senate approval. It expands existing lobbying disclosure rules to specifically include "offices and nominees or potential nominees" as a required disclosure point for lobbyists. The key mechanism adds this requirement to multiple sections of the legislative law, mandating that lobbyists report the specific offices and nominees they are lobbying for. This affects lobbyists working on appointments to state positions subject to Senate confirmation, such as judges or agency heads.
