§ 580-1. Legislative intent.

Latest version.

A.
This Legislature hereby finds and determines that lobbyists who appear before agencies, departments, commissions and boards of the County of Suffolk often exercise an influence disproportionate to the actual interests they represent within the Suffolk County community.

B.
Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to require registration and monitoring of lobbyists who appear before Suffolk County government so as to make certain that the integrity of the decision-making process in County government is preserved and protected against actual improprieties or perceptions of improper activity.
