SAINT PAUL, Minn.—Friday, the House State Government Finance and Elections Committee will discuss legislation to restrict registered lobbyists or special interest groups from having unique access to a meeting room, hospitality area, or other event space where public officials gather to conduct legislative business. The bill was drafted by Rep. Ginny Klevorn (DFL-Plymouth) in response to the approval Senate Republicans received from the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board last fall to create a private meeting space for legislators, lobbyists and other dues-paying members.
