[GRIC @GRIC_IRGC]

📰📢 Check out #GRIC President @HunterDoubt in today's The Hill Times discussing the ongoing Lobbying Act review and the Commissioner's recommendations related to a registration-by-default and more stringent reporting requirements.

Doubt told The Hill Times that his concern is that registration by default would “flood the system with unnecessary registrations. Specifically, it would impact mostly small business—small nonprofits, small charities.”

“I think there’s been a lot of talk about how this would just simplify things. We actually think it would do the opposite, whereby many of these small business owners [or] small charities … who don’t consider themselves lobbyists but want to speak to their local member of parliament for a particular issue, are not even going to know that they are now a lobbyist.”
