Continuing a recent trend, Pennsylvania lawmakers plan to introduce a series of bills aimed at making lobbyist activity more transparent. The changes include broadening the defintion of a lobbyist, increasing the fine for violations of the lobbying law, and prohibiting a lobbyist from working on a political campaign.
