The bill proposes a new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 10A, that establishes a lobbying restriction for certain public officials. Specifically, it prohibits individuals from acting as lobbyists for a period of seven years after they leave their positions as members of the legislature, constitutional officers, or heads of state departments and agencies, including commissioners and their deputies or assistants.

This legislation aims to enhance the integrity of the lobbying process by preventing former public officials from influencing legislative or administrative actions shortly after their tenure in office. The new provision is intended to reduce potential conflicts of interest and ensure that public officials do not leverage their previous positions for lobbying advantages immediately after leaving office.
