The bill amends West Virginia Code 6B-3-3, which pertains to the publication of information regarding registered lobbyists. It requires each lobbyist to submit a recent photograph, their employer's name, a brief biographical description, and any additional information they wish to provide, limited to 50 words. This information must be submitted at the time of registration.
Significantly, the bill updates the method of publication for this information. Instead of being published annually in a booklet form for distribution, the lobbyist information will now be made available to the public on the commission's website in a printable format. This change aims to streamline access to lobbyist information and reduce the need for physical distribution.
