FPPC Proposes Amendment to Lobbying Ride Along Exception
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has proposed an amendment to lobbying regulations with the goal of clarifying the “ride along” exception to the definition of direct communication for registration.
The proposed amendment limits the ride along exception to employees of the lobbyist employer who participate in the meeting or communication only as a subject matter expert.
The proposed amendment will be considered at a public hearing on March 17, 2016.
