This Resolution amends House Rule 5-3, which outlines the duties of the chief clerk of the House of Representatives, by adding a new provision, subsection (o). This new provision mandates that the chief clerk will maintain a public registry of lobbyists, detailing the specific legislation each lobbyist is advocating for and the name of their employer. Additionally, the Resolution amends House Rule 9-10, concerning the duties of committee chairs, to require that before allowing a registered lobbyist to speak at a committee meeting, the chair must confirm that the lobbyist has disclosed the legislation they are lobbying on and their employer to the chief clerk. These changes aim to increase transparency regarding lobbying activities within the House of Representatives.
