HB 197 (Lobbying by State Agencies Amendments) Libertas Institute supports this bill. State employees hired to administer the law routinely lobby legislators to alter it—expanding their authority, giving them more money, etc. This bill would prohibit lobbying by state employees, while reasonably allowing them to provide testimony in committee or request legislation be sponsored to address an issue. |
