The purpose of the proposed new rules is to make the standard for lobbyists in rulemaking proceedings consistent with the standard applied in other types of administrative proceedings, to clarify that the definition of lobbyist excludes attorneys or others representing clients in a rulemaking proceeding, to add to examples of lobbying activities compensated communications in behalf of a client prior to certain rulemaking actions, and to provide examples of activities not constituting lobbying related to rulemaking. The purpose of the proposed rule title amendments for rules 34-12.120 (Exclusions for Administrative Proceedings as to Lobbying Activities Involving Water Management Districts), 34-12.160 (Examples of Lobbying Activities Involving Water Management Districts), and 34-12.170 (Examples of Activities Not Constituting Lobbying Involving Water Management Districts) is to reflect that lobbyists before water management districts remain subject to those rules because of legislative changes in Chapter 2014-183, Section 6, LOF.
