This bill proposes to prohibit former legislators from engaging in lobbying activities for a period of two years following their departure from legislative office. The new legal language specifies that individuals who have served as members of the legislature are barred from attempting to influence legislative action as lobbyists during this timeframe.

The bill introduces a new section in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 10A, titled "[10A.035] FORMER LEGISLATORS; LOBBYING ACTIVITIES PROHIBITED." It also establishes an effective date of January 14, 2025, indicating that this prohibition will apply to members of the legislature elected in the 2024 state general election and thereafter.
