The bill would require anyone who lobbies government officials for pay to register, obtain a license, and regularly disclose who they work for, what they are trying to influence, and how much they spend. A joint secretariat would keep a public online database of all lobbyists and their activities, and violations could lead to fines, license suspension, or even jail time.
