Regulating Lobbyists at the Statehouse | | The job of lobbyists - whether paid or unpaid - is to influence public officials to support a particular point of view. State legislatures have passed laws regulating lobbyists to ensure a distance between the lobbyists' legitimate role and the interests of the public at large. Many states' statutes include separate codes of ethics for lobbyists. These codes specify registration fees, disclosure requirements and other regulations and prohibitions. In addition to any laws they must follow, lobbyists have their own code of ethics: American League of Lobbyists Code of Ethics
