This bill amends Title 65 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on lobbying disclosure and registration. It introduces a new definition for "Public official," which aligns with the existing definitions in section 1102. Additionally, the bill establishes a new prohibition under the registration section, stating that any public official convicted of a felony crime on or after the effective date of this amendment will be barred from registering as a lobbyist.

The changes aim to enhance the integrity of the lobbying process by ensuring that individuals with felony convictions cannot participate in lobbying activities. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, reinforcing the commitment to transparency and accountability in public office and lobbying practices.
