SB 1185 Summary

• Prohibits registered principals, public bodies, lobbyists, designated public lobbyists, and authorized public lobbyists from making or soliciting campaign contributions to members of the legislature or the governor.

• Removes the previous time-based limitation that restricted contributions only when the legislature is in regular session, making the prohibition apply at all times.

• Prohibits principals, public bodies, lobbyists, designated public lobbyists, and authorized public lobbyists from bundling five or more campaign contributions for the same candidate for public office.

• Clarifies that prohibitions on contributions do not prevent principals or lobbyists from raising money for other purposes during legislative sessions.
