Senate offers $100 lobbying limit in plan
Placeholder Image
ATLANTA — Lobbyists would face a $100 spending limit when seeking to influence Georgia officials under a Senate plan released Thursday that tries to resolve political differences with House Speaker David Ralston. Lawmakers in the General Assembly must soon decide which proposal, if any, to adopt if they want to end a system that allows unlimited lobbyist spending. Any bills not adopted by the end of the state’s legislative session next Thursday automatically fail for the year.
