Relating to the prohibition on lobbying by certain elected officers.

SB 345 amends Texas election law to require most elected officials to register as lobbyists if they lobby, but exempts unpaid local officials in small cities or towns. Specifically, it excludes non-presiding officers in political subdivisions with under 150,000 residents (if unpaid) and presiding officers in places with under 50,000 residents (if they refuse salary). The bill clarifies that these officials are not required to register under Texas lobbying laws, while maintaining registration requirements for other elected roles. This focuses on eligibility rules rather than new policy outcomes.
