The House-passed text amended the Lobbying Disclosure Act to treat counseling in support of lobbying contacts as lobbying activity, treat certain providers of counseling services as making the same lobbying contact, reduce the registration threshold exemption from 20 percent to 10 percent, and require persons making lobbying contacts to disclose whether they are registered and identify the client.

H.R.1 contained concrete shadow-lobbying disclosure provisions, but the text reviewed did not enact the spouse-specific requirement into law; it was only bill text.
