Lobbying, Lobbyists - As introduced, increases time an employer of a lobbyist or a lobbyist must register or update their registration with the ethics commission from not later than seven days to not later than seven business days. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 3; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8 and Title 12.

SB 1574 would have required lobbyists and their employers to update registration with Tennessee's ethics commission within seven business days (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays) instead of seven calendar days. This change would have directly affected all registered lobbyists and the organizations employing them, adjusting deadlines to align with business days. The bill amended specific sections of Tennessee's lobbying laws (Sections 3-6-302(a) and 3-6-302(c)) to implement this time-frame shift. However, the bill was withdrawn on February 5, 2026, and did not become law.
