AI Summary

  • Increases the lobbyist payment threshold from $2,150 to $3,000 for calendar year 2025, determining when lobbying registration and reporting requirements apply

  • Changes inflation adjustment timing from following general elections to every even-numbered year, with the inflation factor calculated by dividing the June consumer price index of the even year by June of the prior year

  • Requires principals to file electronic reports (rather than paper) of payments made for lobbying purposes

  • Replaces the fixed $5,000 monthly reporting trigger with the variable threshold amount specified under 5-7-112, so monthly reports are required when a principal spends the threshold amount or more in a calendar month
