Summary:
This report is intended to provide a quick reference chart and short analysis comparing the lobbying reform provisions in S. 1, 110th Congress, as passed by the Senate, with the lobbying reform legislation reported in the House, H.R. 2316, 110th Congress. The chart examines and analyzes the provisions of the bills in question as they relate to the general area of lobbying and lobbying disclosure, and with regard to post-employment lobbying restrictions on Members of Congress and congressional staff. Although the Senate bill, S. 1, contains provisions dealing with lobbying disclosure, internal Senate ethics rules, and procedural reforms in the Senate, H.R. 2316 focuses more narrowly on lobbying disclosure reforms, as the House adopted procedural and internal ethics changes earlier in the present Congress. The changes made to the internal House Rules on January 4, 2007, in H.Res. 6, and the proposed amendments to the Senate Rules in S. 1, regarding the broader area of 'ethics' and such things as the receipt of outside private gifts by Members and staff, the acceptance of 'officially connected' travel expenses, and travel on private corporate aircraft, are analyzed in CRS [Congressional Research Service] Report RL33893, 'Gifts and Ethics Rules: Side-by-Side Comparison of Provisions of S. 1 and H.Res. 6, 110th Congress', by Jack Maskell.
