AMENDED
FACT SHEET FOR
S.B. 1100
patient
rights; health care services
(
NOW: foreign
adversary; lobbying; registration; disclosure
)
As passed by the
Senate, S.B. 1100 granted patients specified rights when receiving care from a
health professional in Arizona.
The House of
Representatives adopted a strike-everything amendment that does the following:
Purpose
Applies the
statutory requirements for lobbyist registration to a foreign adversary
principal and a foreign adversary principal's lobbyist. Requires the Arizona
Department of Homeland Security (AZDOHS) to publicly post a database of all
foreign adversary principals and each foreign adversary principal's lobbyist.
Establishes the Foreign Adversary Principal Lobbyist Registration Fund (Fund).
Background
Before any
principal may cause any lobbying to occur on the principal's behalf, the
principal must register with the Secretary of State (SOS) by filing a written
statement, under penalty of perjury, that contains: 1) the name and business
address of the principal; 2) the name and business address of a person who is
the designated lobbyist for the principal; 3) the name and business address of
each lobbyist for compensation or authorized lobbyist employed by, retained by
or representing the principal; 4) for each lobbyist, the name and business
address of all employees of the lobbyist who lobby on the principal's behalf;
5) the nature of the primary business or activity, issue, interest or purpose
of the principal; 6) the duration of the engagement of any lobbyist; 7) a
description of the expenses for which each lobbyist is to be reimbursed by the
principal; and 8) a listing of the state entities the lobbyist has been engaged
or designated to lobby, including the Legislature and state agencies, boards,
commissions or councils.
A principal must
file the lobbyist registration between December 1 in the even numbered year and
5:00 p.m. on the second Monday of January in the odd numbered year. A principal
must amend the principal's registration statement within five business days of
any change in the prescribed information. Each principal that registers a
lobbyist for compensation or a designated lobbyist, at the time of registration,
must pay a registration or reregistration fee of $25 to the SOS. Registration
fees collected by the SOS are deposited in the state General Fund. The registration
fees must be used to reduce the costs associated with enforcing the lobbyist
registration laws (
A.R.S. � 41-1232
).
A person who is a
registered lobbyist must disclose the name of the person's client and the fact
that the person is a lobbyist to: 1) any legislator the person is lobbying for
the first time or on subsequent request; and 2) any public official or employee
of a public body each time that the person is lobbying for the procurement of
materials, services or construction. Any person who knowingly violates or fails
to comply with the statutory lobbyist registration or disclosure requirements
or any person who knowingly files any materially false statement or material
omission is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor. Any alleged violation may be
investigated and prosecuted by the Attorney General or the county attorney of
the county in which the alleged offense was committed (A.R.S. ��
41-1233.01
and
41-1237
).
There is no
anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.
