foreign principals; lobbyists; registration; fund

Summary

The bill forces any foreign principal – including foreign governments, parties, corporations or entities with significant foreign ownership – to file a registration with the state, list all lobbyists they employ, and update the information regularly. It also obligates those lobbyists to tell legislators and public officials when they are lobbying on the principal’s behalf. Violations are treated as Class 1 misdemeanors and the fees collected go into a dedicated fund.
