  • Amends the Lobbyist Registration Act to add requirements for lobbyists regarding conflict of interest procedures and disclosures.

  • Requires lobbyists to file a written statement with the Secretary of State describing procedures for handling potential conflicts of interest between the lobbyist and their client.

  • Defines "conflict of interest" as representation directly adverse to another client or circumstances where representing one client may materially limit representation of another client or the lobbyist's personal interests.

  • Prohibits lobbyists from representing a client when a conflict of interest exists, unless the conflict procedures and exceptions are documented in the agreement between the lobbyist and client.

  • Exempts lobbyists whose activities are governed by the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct of 2010 from these requirements, though they must file a statement to that effect with the Secretary of State.
