House Rules Resolution - Lobbyist Ethics Amendments
HR 6 amends Utah House rules to strengthen lobbyist ethics standards. It prohibits paid lobbyists and volunteer lobbyists from entering the House floor, lounge, or offices during sessions, and bans them from influencing which bills get debated or referred to committees. The bill also prevents lobbyists, volunteer lobbyists, or government officials from using legislative staff identification badges. These changes directly affect lobbyists, volunteer lobbyists, and government officials interacting with the Utah House of Representatives. The resolution updates existing rules without appropriating funds or creating new programs.
