HB 1090 – Lobbying by former legislators

HB 1090 which provides a cooling off period before a legislator can become a lobbyist passed out of committee by a vote of 10 to 1 after they ameneded the bill to start later and to only require a 1 year cooling off period. The Indy Star has an article on the bill saying that the bill has the support of Speaker Bosma and the Governor and, apparently, the tepid support of Sen. Garton who seems to be allowing the bill as a favor to the Governor.
