Summary

This bill amends the Lobbyist Regulation Act. It requires that a lobbyist’s employer who incurs lobbying expenses must file an estimated lobbying expense report with the Secretary of State no later than January 15 of each year. And it requires that lobbyist registrations, lobbying expense reports and expenditure statements shall be posted on the Secretary of State ‘s lobbyist disclosure website within 48 hours of receipt, except that each statement and report received during a legislative session shall be posted within 24 hours of receipt.

A possible benefit of this bill might be greater public awareness of lobbying activities, with increased disclosure and enhanced public access to information about lobbyists, their employers and their expenditures.
