SB 1175: Lobbyist registration and termination.
What SB 1175 does, verified August 23, 2026
This bill amends the Lobbyist Registration and Termination process. The current law requires lobbyists to submit amended certifications or notices of termination directly to their lobbying firm or employer for filing with the Secretary of State. This bill changes the process to require lobbyists to submit these documents directly to the Secretary of State. It aims to further the purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974, which requires lobbyists to register and report their activities. The bill takes effect immediately as an urgency statute, making it a priority for the state.
