HB 90
AN ACT relating to educational lobbying.
In Plain Language
Public schools and colleges would be banned from paying outside lobbyists to influence state lawmakers, but they could still pay outside representatives to work with federal officials. School employees would still be allowed to lobby on their own. The bill applies these same rules to both K-12 schools and higher education institutions.
