AB 1560: Lobbyist certification.
What AB 1560 does, verified August 15, 2026
The proposed law aims to amend the Political Reform Act of 1974 to strengthen lobbying regulations. It would prohibit individuals convicted of public corruption from serving as lobbyists, requiring them to disclose this conviction on their lobbying certification. This would prevent individuals with a history of public corruption from influencing government decisions. The law also declares that it furthers the purposes of the act, making it a state-mandated local program.
