Relating to certain compensation and reimbursement information required to be disclosed in a lobbyist registration form.
HB 2862 requires lobbyists to report exact dollar amounts for compensation or reimbursement paid using taxpayer money on their registration forms. This applies only to payments made with public funds, not all lobbyist expenses. The bill amends Texas Government Code Section 305.005 to add this specific reporting requirement, effective September 1, 2025. It directly affects lobbyists who receive taxpayer-funded compensation or reimbursements, mandating clearer disclosure of those amounts. The change does not alter other reporting requirements or apply to registrations filed before the effective date.
