An Act clarifying lobbying law violations

This bill modifies Massachusetts lobbying laws to automatically disqualify individuals convicted of specific crimes from registering as executive or legislative agents. The new provision targets people convicted of felonies or misdemeanors under state lobbying statutes, campaign finance laws, or comparable federal and out-of-state offenses. If convicted, these individuals would be barred from registering for a period of 10 years starting from the date of their conviction. The change is designed to clarify the consequences of violating existing lobbying regulations by establishing a mandatory disqualification process.
