The bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 6B-3-3, to enhance the requirements for lobbyists when registering. Each lobbyist is now required to submit a recent photograph, along with their employer's name, a brief biographical description, and any additional information they wish to provide, limited to 50 words. This information will be made publicly available on the commission's website in a format that is both printable and electronically searchable.

The changes aim to improve transparency regarding lobbyists by ensuring that their information is easily accessible to the public. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after its passage, which is scheduled for July 9, 2025.
