Bill > S05843

This bill requires that all lobbying statements and reports filed with the Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government must be submitted electronically through the commission's online filing system. Specifically, the bill amends the legislative law by adding a new section (1-u) that mandates electronic submission of all lobbying-related documentation, replacing any previous paper-based filing methods. This change is designed to modernize the reporting process, potentially improving efficiency, accessibility, and record-keeping for lobbying disclosures. The bill will go into effect 30 days after it becomes law, giving lobbyists and the commission time to adapt to the new electronic filing requirement. By mandating electronic filing, the bill aims to streamline the reporting process and potentially make lobbying information more transparent and easier to track.
