Gov. Greg Gianforte recently signed a bill revising various lobbying thresholds. House Bill 804 codifies the lobbyist payment threshold at $3,000 and provides for adjustment of the threshold in each even-numbered year. The inflation factor will be determined by dividing the consumer price index for June of even-numbered years by the consumer price index for June of the prior year, with changes becoming effective January 1 of the following odd year. The principal reporting threshold will also decrease from $5,000 to $3,000 during any calendar year, with monthly reports being triggered upon spending $3,000 or more during the prior calendar month. House Bill 804 becomes effective October 1.
