Lobbying Compensation Amendments

SB 112 amends Utah's Lobbyist Disclosure and Regulation Act to allow contingent compensation for lobbyists (where pay depends on legislative outcomes) under strict conditions. It requires all such agreements to be documented in a written contract signed by both parties before lobbying begins and filed with the lieutenant governor as a public record. The bill directly affects lobbyists and the organizations that hire them, mandating full transparency about outcome-based payment terms. This change takes effect on May 7, 2025, with no new funding required. The policy modifies existing rules to increase disclosure without altering lobbying restrictions.
