The bill amends and reenacts section 6B-3-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, concerning the publication of information related to registered lobbyists. It mandates that each lobbyist, upon registration, must submit a recent photograph, the name of their employer, a brief biographical description, and any additional information they wish to provide, limited to 50 words. This information, along with the photograph, will be made publicly available on the commission's website in a format that is both printable and electronically searchable.

The bill emphasizes transparency in lobbying activities by ensuring that the public has access to essential information about registered lobbyists. The changes aim to enhance accountability and provide citizens with the ability to easily find and review the credentials and affiliations of individuals who engage in lobbying efforts within the state.
