The California Expand Definition of Lobbyist's Administrative Actions Measure was not on the ballot in California as a legislatively referred state statute on November 8, 2022.[1]
The measure would have made changes to the Political Reform Act of 1974, which imposed requirements on lobbyists and lobbyist employers involved in administrative action, which includes the proposal, drafting, development, consideration, amendment, enactment, or defeat by any state agency of any rule, regulation, or other action in any rate making or quasi-legislative proceeding. The measure would have expanded the definition of a lobbyist's administrative action to include any decision or approval by the Insurance Commissioner or the Director of the Department of Managed Health Care.[2]
