Bill > HB2892

This bill amends Arizona's existing lobbying regulations by adding a new prohibition on lobbying the state legislature for individuals who have been paid employees of or received compensation from candidate committees, political action committees (PACs), or independent expenditure committees during the year immediately preceding a legislative session. Specifically, the bill defines these committees using existing definitions from Arizona election law and prevents individuals who have worked for such political organizations from lobbying the legislature for one year after their employment. This provision appears designed to create additional separation between political campaign work and legislative lobbying, potentially reducing potential conflicts of interest or undue political influence. The bill builds upon existing restrictions in Arizona law that already prohibit certain lobbying activities, such as contingent compensation for legislative advocacy and lobbying by former legislators or public procurement employees within one year of leaving their previous positions.
