Relating to the availability on the Internet of certain registrations and reports filed by lobbyists.
SB 346 requires Texas lobbying commissions to post all lobbyist registration and reporting documents on their public website within 10 business days of filing. The bill mandates removal of individuals' home addresses from these documents before posting and requires documents to remain online for at least five years. This applies to all new filings submitted on or after September 1, 2025, directly affecting lobbyists and their organizations who must comply with these transparency requirements. The law aims to increase public access to lobbying activity while protecting personal privacy in filings.
