The Montana Commissioner of Political Practices has proposed to amend the threshold amount a lobbyist can earn to trigger lobbyist registration with the state.

The current amount of $2,550 was set in 2017. The new proposed threshold amount for 2019 is $2,600.

Anyone who is directly affected by the proposal can express their views at a public hearing by making a written request for a hearing no later than 5:00 pm on December 11, 2018.

Hearing requests should be made to Scott Cook at 406-444-2942 or via email at scook3@mt.gov.
