Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 requires lobbyists to disclose certain information, including the fees they receive from clients and their expenditures. This helps to increase transparency and accountability in the lobbying process. Option B is referring to the revolving door restrictions, which are separate from the Lobbying Disclosure Act. Option C is partially correct, as there is a one-year restriction on certain officials who leave the executive branch and want to lobby their former offices, but it only applies to high-level officials who were involved in certain types of activities. Option D is incorrect, as registration is required for those who lobby the executive branch and the staffs of Congress members.
