A LOBBYIST DISCLOSURE BILL PASSED IN THE STATE HOUSE IN SANTA FE WEDNESDAY, AND SECRETARY OF STATE MAGGIE TOULOUSE OLIVER APPLAUDS ITS APPROVAL.
SENATE BILL 191 WOULD CLOSE A LOOPHOLE IN THE CURRENT REPORTS BY LOBBYISTS BY REQUIRING THEM TO REPORT EXPENSES THAT ARE UNDER 100 DOLLARS. IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED IN THE SENATE LAST WEEK AND PASSED THE HOUSE ON WEDNESDAY ON A 68-TO-1 VOTE AND NOW GOES TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK FOR HER SIGNATURE.
TOULOUSE OLIVER SAYS THE BILL IS A SIMPLE BUT IMPORTANT MOVE TO MORE TRANSPARENCY.
