Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to expand the scope of individuals and activities which are subject to the requirements of such Act.
AI Summary
This bill, the Lobbyist Loophole Closure Act, aims to expand the scope of individuals and activities that are subject to the requirements of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. The key provisions are: 1) Treating legislative, political, and strategic counseling services as lobbying activity, in addition to research and other background work; and 2) Considering individuals who provide these counseling services to be making the same lobbying contacts as the individuals they are supporting, even if they did not directly make the contact. These changes would close a loophole that allowed some lobbying activities to go unreported under the existing law.
