Bill Summary

General Description: This resolution modifies House rules related to lobbyist ethics.

AI Summary

This resolution amends House rules to enhance lobbyist ethics by clarifying definitions and restricting access for lobbyists and volunteer lobbyists to certain areas of the House during legislative sessions. Specifically, it defines "volunteer lobbyist" as someone who engages in lobbying but is not required to register, and it prohibits lobbyists and volunteer lobbyists from being on the House floor while the House is convened, though they may meet with representatives in designated areas like the House lounge or offices under specific conditions. The resolution also updates the code of ethics for lobbyists, volunteer lobbyists, and government officials, adding prohibitions against participating in the prioritization of legislation for floor action or committee referral, and further restricts their use of legislative resources and access to offices and information.
