Existing law, the Political Reform Act of 1974, requires that the Secretary of State maintain on the Internet an updated list of lobbyists, lobbying firms, and lobbying employers. The act further requires lobbyist employers and persons making certain payments to influence legislative or administrative action to file periodic statements disclosing, among other things, their lobbying interests. This bill would require lobbyists who are required to file periodic reports with the Secretary of State to include the specific bill numbers lobbied on during the reporting period. This bill would also require the Secretary of State, within 90 days of the end of each calendar quarter, to display on the office's Internet Web site a list of the lobbying interests containing a specific bill number reference which were reported to the Secretary of State pursuant to those provisions and a list of those lobbyist employers who reported those interests in the prior calendar quarter. The Political Reform Act of 1974, an initiative measure, provides that the Legislature may amend the act to further the act's purposes upon a 23 vote of each house and compliance with specified procedural requirements. This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act.
