Relating to the prohibition of lobbyist representation of both political subdivisions and private entities.

HB 174 prohibits lobbyists from representing both a local government that imposes taxes (such as a city or county) and a private business or individual. The law specifically bans lobbyists from having dual representation for these conflicting interests under new contracts entered after the bill's effective date. This change applies only to political subdivisions with tax authority, not all local governments. The bill takes effect 91 days after the legislative session ends.
