California AB1560 amends lobbyist certification requirements, including ethics course completion and public corruption convictions.

California AB1560 modifies lobbyist certification requirements under the Government Code. It mandates that lobbyist certifications include a recent photograph, full name, business address, email address, and telephone number. It also requires a statement confirming the lobbyist has read and understood specific prohibitions. For those who filed a completed certification in the last regular session, the certification must state whether the ethics course was completed within the previous 12 months or will be completed by June 30 of the following year, in which case the certification is accepted.
