Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill prohibits any individual who serves as a member of the legislature, for 24 months following the date on which the individual ceases to hold office, from being employed as a lobbyist. "Lobbyist" is defined as an individual who is compensated by a principal and whose duties include attempting to influence state legislative action or state administrative rule-making action on behalf of the principal; if an individual's duties on behalf of a principal are not limited exclusively to lobbying, the individual is a lobbyist only if he or she makes lobbying communications on each of at least five days during a six-month reporting period.
Violators of the prohibition are subject to a forfeiture (civil penalty) of not more than $5,000 for each violation. Intentional violators are guilty of a misdemeanor and are subject to a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year or both for each violation.
