lobbying regulation

Lobbying regulation involves laws and rules that oversee how individuals or groups, called lobbyists, attempt to influence government decision-making. These regulations require lobbyists to register, disclose their clients and expenditures, and report their activities. The goal is to promote transparency, prevent corruption, and ensure that officials understand who is trying to influence them and for what purpose. By establishing clear standards, lobbying regulations help maintain fair democratic processes and accountability in the relationship between private interests and public policy.
