California SB1175 amends lobbyist registration requirements and reporting obligations.

California SB1175 amends the Government Code to modify lobbyist registration and reporting requirements. It allows individual lobbyists to file registration amendments and termination notices directly with the Secretary of State rather than through their employer. The bill also specifies that lobbyists and lobbying firms are subject to gift limits six months after filing a notice of termination or six months after the close of a regular session of the Legislature at which they ceased all activity that required certification or registration.
