Colorado Politics: Gov. Jared Polis on Friday vetoed a bill that would have required executive branch lobbyists to follow much of the same disclosure rules that already govern other Capitol lobbyists.
Lobbyists for organizations are required to state their clients’ position on bills, either as “amend,” “monitor,” “oppose,” or “support.” The executive branch’s lobbyists, on the other hand, rarely provide a position.
The governor’s office, which has a lobbyist, never listed a position on Senate Bill 147 and never testified on it. But sources told Colorado Politics the bill sat atop the governor’s veto list.
