Summary

The bill changes the filing process so individual lobbyists, lobbying firms, and their employers must send updated registration information or termination notices straight to the Secretary of State, rather than through an employer. It sets a 20‑day deadline and provides exemptions for filings at the end of a legislative session. The change is meant to align the law with the upcoming CAL‑ACCESS Replacement System and keep lobbying disclosures accurate and timely.
