SB 1207 requires lobbyists in Tennessee to list every specific bill or legislative measure they are paid to support or oppose in their registration statements with the Ethics Commission. This directly affects professional lobbyists who work on legislative advocacy, adding transparency about which bills they influence for compensation. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 3, Chapter 6, by adding a new disclosure requirement to existing registration forms. It does not change lobbying compensation rules but mandates that lobbyists publicly identify the exact legislation they represent financially. The bill was introduced in the Tennessee Senate on February 6, 2025.
