Expands disclosure requirements for lobbyists

This bill expands disclosure requirements for lobbyists by adding new categories of government actions they must report, including appropriations, gubernatorial or local executive orders, and tribal-state agreements. Lobbyists and their clients will need to include more specific details in their bi-monthly reports about what they lobbied on, how they voted on those issues, and the names of the government bodies they engaged with. The bill also clarifies how compensation and lobbying expenses must be reported, requiring detailed breakdowns for expenses over $75 while excluding personal travel and modest communication costs. These changes directly affect registered lobbyists, their clients, and the state ethics commission that oversees lobbying activities. The legislation aims to increase transparency by ensuring a more comprehensive record of lobbying efforts across different types of government decisions.
