City Council OKs Tighter Lobbyist Registration Requirements

A win for good-government in Beverly Hills: Council unanimously OK’d tighter lobbyist registration requirements that now require any ‘legislative advocate’ remunerated above $50 to both disclose their role in chambers and file a form under penalty of city suspension and state perjury law. Kudos to Mayor Mirisch for spearheading it and to the mayor’s Sunshine Task Force for workshopping it.
