More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the information required to be disclosed in a lobbyist registration form’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends the Government Code to modify the information required on a lobbyist registration form. It mandates the inclusion of a disclosure statement indicating whether the registrant is or has been required to register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 during the preceding 12 months. Additionally, it requires disclosure if the registrant engaged in activities at the state level in the past 12 months that would necessitate registration as a foreign agent if those activities had been conducted at the federal level. This Act applies to registrations filed on or after its effective date, Sept. 1, 2025, with previous registrations governed by the law effective at their time of filing.
