City Council recently passed amendments to the city’s lobbying regulations.

Ordinance 191877 aligns lobbying requirements with the city’s charter, which was changed through a package of reforms when voters approved Measure 26-228 in 2022.

The ordinance aligns post-employment prohibitions with the mayor/council form of government and provides clarity for those regulated by the lobbyist regulations.

The ordinance also amends definitions for city official and city director to align with the new organizational structure for positions, offices, and bureaus tasked with carrying out city business.

The ordinance is effective January 1, 2025.
