Senate Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the repeal of the 2-year ban on lobbying for public employees by eliminating Section 5-7-310 of the Montana Code Annotated. This section currently prohibits former government personnel from engaging in lobbying activities for a period of two years after leaving their public positions.

The bill includes a new section that establishes an immediate effective date upon passage and approval, allowing the repeal to take effect without delay. This legislative change aims to remove restrictions on former public employees, enabling them to participate in lobbying activities sooner than previously allowed.
