    1         CRC Amendment to Substitute Amendment (710062) 
    2  
    3         Delete lines 30 - 51
    4  and insert:
    5         (h)(1) As used in this subsection, the term:
    6         a. “Lobbyist” means any person who is not an officer or a
    7  full-time employee of a political subdivision who seeks, for
    8  compensation, to influence governmental decision making on
    9  behalf of other individuals or entities.
   10         b. “Political subdivision” means any state, regional,
   11  county, municipal, or district governmental entity of this state
   12  or a part thereof, whether executive, judicial, or legislative;
   13  including any special district, school district, public school,
   14  state college, or state university.
   15         (2)a. A political subdivision may not retain a lobbyist to
   16  seek, or advocate for or against, an appropriation from the
   17  legislature for the primary benefit of that political
   18  subdivision. A lobbyist that is retained, or has been retained
   19  within the preceding six months, by a political subdivision to
   20  advocate on a policy issue may not seek, or advocate for or
   21  against, an appropriation from the legislature for the primary
   22  benefit of that political subdivision.
   23         b. A political subdivision may not retain a lobbyist to
   24  seek, or advocate for or against, an executive branch agency
   25  legislative budget request, the governor’s recommended budget,
   26  or the approval or veto of an appropriation made by the
   27  legislature for the primary benefit of that political
   28  subdivision. A lobbyist that is retained, or has been retained
   29  within the preceding six months, by a political subdivision to
   30  advocate on a policy issue may not seek, or advocate for or
   31  against, an executive branch agency legislative budget request,
   32  the governor’s recommended budget, or the approval or veto of an
   33  appropriation made by the legislature for the primary benefit of
   34  that political subdivision.
   35         (i)(h) This section shall not be construed to limit
   36  disclosures and prohibitions which may be established by law to
   37  preserve the public trust and avoid conflicts between public
   38  duties and private interests.
   39         (j)(i) Schedule—On the effective date of this amendment and
   40  until changed by law:
   41         (1) Full and public disclosure of financial interests shall
   42  mean filing with the custodian of state records by July 1 of
   43  each year a sworn statement showing net worth and identifying
   44  each asset and liability in excess of $1,000 and its value
   45  together with one of the following:
   46         a. A copy of the person’s most recent federal income tax
   47  return; or
   48         b. A sworn statement which identifies each separate source
   49  and amount of income which exceeds $1,000. The forms for such
   50  source disclosure and the rules under which they are to be filed
   51  shall be prescribed by the independent commission established in
   52  subsection (f), and such rules shall include disclosure of
   53  secondary sources of income.
   54         (2) Persons holding statewide elective offices shall also
   55  file disclosure of their financial interests pursuant to
   56  paragraph (1) subsection (i)(1).
