HB 2862 amends the Government Code to require lobbyists to disclose the exact amount of taxpayer money they receive as compensation or reimbursement. Currently, lobbyists report earnings within specified ranges, but this bill mandates precise reporting for any payments made with public funds. The disclosure requirement applies only to new registrations filed on or after the bill’s effective date of September 1, 2025.
