Bill > H2789

This bill amends Section 39 of Chapter 3 of the general laws, which likely pertains to the definition of "legislative agent" or "executive agent" in Massachusetts, a term used to describe individuals who lobby or advocate for specific interests before the government. Specifically, the bill adds "public relations firm director or chief executive officer" and "consultant or public relations firm" to the existing definitions, broadening the scope of who is considered an agent that must register and disclose their activities when attempting to influence legislation or executive actions. This expansion aims to ensure greater transparency and accountability in the lobbying process by including individuals and entities that may not have been explicitly covered by the previous definitions.
