Assembly Bill 1093 establishes a new regulation concerning former members of the legislature in Wisconsin, specifically prohibiting them from being employed as lobbyists for a period of 12 months after leaving office. The bill defines a lobbyist as an individual compensated by a principal to influence state legislative or administrative actions, with specific criteria for determining lobbying activities.

Violations of this prohibition can result in a civil forfeiture of up to $5,000 for each infraction, while intentional violations may lead to misdemeanor charges, fines ranging from $100 to $5,000, and potential imprisonment for up to one year. The new legal language created by this bill is found in section 19.45 (8m) of the statutes, which outlines these restrictions and penalties.
