FL S1322

Redefines "expenditure" in lobbying regulations to exclude items of value when equal or greater consideration is given within 90 days, and adds seven new categories of excluded expenditures including employment-related items, awards, honorary memberships, and transportation for governmental business.

Prohibits legislators and employees from soliciting or accepting expenditures from lobbyists or principals for personal benefit, with a $100 limit on expenditures except for those with prior written approval from legislative leadership or from relatives.

Requires legislators and employees to file quarterly statements reporting expenditures exceeding $25 in value accepted from lobbyists or principals, including description, monetary value, donor information, and receipts.

Defines "relative" to include blood relatives, in-laws, step-relatives, engaged partners, and anyone sharing the same legal residence as the legislator or employee.

Applies the new expenditure rules specifically to members and employees of the Legislature, exempting them from provisions in sections 112.3148 and 112.3149 that apply to other reporting individuals.
