SB2264

Tennessee SB2264 amends lobbying laws to clarify that state agencies are not considered employers of lobbyists when they hire contractors or.

Tennessee SB2264 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Title 3, and Title 8 to modify the definition of an employer of a lobbyist. Specifically, it removes the exemption for boards, utilities, districts, departments, agencies, or entities from being considered employers of lobbyists when they hire contractors, subcontractors, or other representatives for lobbying activities. This change ensures that when a state department, agency, or entity employs a contractor, subcontractor, or other representative to engage in lobbying, the entity is not deemed to be the employer of a lobbyist.
