I hope the lobbyist gift ban will reappear. SB 1064 would tighten restrictions on lobbyist gifts to lawmakers. The bill would prohibit lobbyists from giving individual lawmakers tickets for sporting and cultural events. The bill, which has been approved by the Senate, failed to pass the House Government Operations Committee earlier this week. Hull has a long record of support for such measures.
People have the right to expect integrity in their government.
The Governor thanked Sen. Tom Patterson for sponsoring the bill. I appreciate Tom. He has fought hard to keep this bill moving.
