HB 86 restricts governmental entities with taxing authority from spending public funds on lobbyists unless authorized by a stand-alone vote of their governing body in a public meeting. It imposes transparency requirements, including publishing contracts and spending details online. Lobbyists under such contracts are barred from advocating on specific tax-related legislation. The bill also prohibits reimbursement for entertainment-related expenses and allows residents to file ethics complaints for violations.
