Bill Digest: Regulation of Lobbying (Amendment) Bill 2022
The amendments to the Regulation of Lobbying Act 2015 proposed in this Bill aim to strengthen compliance and enforcement, most notably of the ‘cooling-off’ provision, and also through the insertion of an ‘anti-avoidance’ clause. With a view to bringing more transparency to lobbying activity and closing off unintended loopholes, it extends the Act’s provisions to lobbying activity by certain representative and issue-based bodies and to lobbying conducted by non-remunerated office[1]holders of other representative and issue-based bodies, and it slightly amends the information required on the register. The Bill creates a system of administrative financial sanctions which can be imposed for some relevant contraventions, including for a breach of the cooling-off provision. The Bill also increases the length of time that will elapse between statutory reviews. [Keywords: Regulation of lobbying, Cooling-off provision, Revolving door, Conflict of interest]
