An Act amending Title 65 (Public Officers) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in lobbying disclosure, further providing for definitions, for registration, for exemption from registration and reporting, for prohibited activities, for administration and for penalties; and making an editorial change.
SB 808 updates Pennsylvania's lobbying disclosure rules by adding new definitions (like "affiliate" for related entities or family members) and requiring lobbyists, lobbying firms, and political consultants to register electronically within 10 days of starting work. It mandates disclosure of all affiliates in registration filings and adjusts exemptions, such as allowing individuals to be exempt if they earn under $2,500 annually from lobbying or political consulting. The bill also clarifies that political consultants must report the specific candidates they assist, excluding legal work related to elections. These changes aim to increase transparency around who is influencing state policy.
