Ethics Review Commission wants lobbying input
Monday, May 18, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
On June 3, a working group of the Ethics Review Commission will host a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. at Austin City Hall, Room 1029, to get input on the regulation of lobbyists as outlined in City Code. To that end, the group will take public feedback on the topic. According to a statement from the group, it is most interested in hearing from the public about:
- who should be required to register as a lobbyist;
- lobbyist registration procedures;
- lobbyist accountability;
- enforcement and monitoring of lobbyist regulations; and
- lobbyist guidelines.
More information about the current city regulations about lobbyists can be found on the city’s website.
