Relating to the content of detailed reports filed by lobbyists and to monetary limits on expenditures by lobbyists.

SB 344 updates Texas lobbying disclosure rules by requiring lobbyists to report more detailed information about expenditures exceeding specific thresholds. It increases the spending limit for transportation/lodging from 30% to 60% of the legislative per diem before reporting is required, and adds new reporting mandates for food/beverage, entertainment, and gifts over $50. Lobbyists must now disclose the recipient's name, date, location, and purpose for these expenses. The bill also clarifies that when multiple lobbyists collaborate on a single expenditure, each must report their share of the total cost. This directly affects registered lobbyists who interact with state legislators or executive branch officials.
