Staff Analysis of the Legislation

This bill estricts lobbyists and "government officers" from making expenditures on local officials beyond what is permitted for state legislators and requires reporting on those expenditures. An identical bill got through committee last session but ran out of time in the Senate. It exempts certain organizations that only represent local government or education, but there are remaining concerns that the bill expands requirements to individuals who are not paid lobbyists.
