Relating to the information required to be disclosed in a lobbyist registration form.

HB 1451 requires lobbyists in Texas to disclose whether they are or were registered as foreign agents under federal law, or whether their state-level activities would require such registration. The bill amends lobbyist registration forms to include three specific disclosures about foreign agent status within the past year. This affects all lobbyists filing registrations on or after September 1, 2025, with prior registrations governed by older rules. The change aims to increase transparency about potential foreign influence in state lobbying activities.
