Lobby Reform Bills Easily Pass The House

Lobby Reform Bills Easily Pass The House

One of the two measures that passed would require lobbyists who solicit campaign contributions from multiple donors for one candidate -- a practice called "bundling" -- to disclose the source and amounts of those contributions. That bill sailed through 382-37.

The second creates a new electronic database for lobbyists and requires them to file quarterly reports about contacts with lawmakers. It also bars spouses from lobbying, and increases civil and criminal penalties for those violating ethics rules. That bill passed 396-22.
