Requires electronic filing of all lobbying filings
S 5843 requires all lobbying disclosures - such as statements and reports about lobbying activities - to be filed electronically through the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government's online system, replacing paper filings. This directly affects lobbyists, lobbying firms, and organizations that must submit these disclosures under existing law. The bill mandates the use of the Commission's designated online platform for all required filings, with no paper submissions permitted. It takes effect 30 days after enactment. As a procedural change to filing methods, it does not alter lobbying regulations or create new restrictions.
