Texas SB13 restricts political subdivisions from using public funds for lobbying activities.
Texas SB13 amends the Government Code to prohibit political subdivisions from spending public funds on lobbying activities. This includes hiring or contracting with individuals who must register as lobbyists, advocating for or against pending legislation, or reimbursing employees for travel expenses related to such activities. The bill also allows taxpayers or residents to seek injunctive relief and recover attorney's fees if a political subdivision engages in prohibited activities.
