Amendment of Municipal Code Chapter 2-156 regarding registration of lobbyists and regulations pertaining thereto
Auto-generated summary
The Chicago City Council has updated the Municipal Code to define administrative actions and lobbying, including grassroots lobbying. Lobbyists, who must register with the board of ethics, are defined as individuals, including attorneys, accountants, or consultants, who influence legislative or administrative actions, excluding those in adversarial hearings or government employees. Certain activities and individuals are exempt from lobbying regulations. Lobbyists must report their activities quarterly, including detailed information about their clients, compensation, and expenditures. Violations of the regulations, including failure to register or report, will result in fines and public disclosure of the violators' names. The new ordinance will take effect on July 1, 2024.
