Relating to the use by a political subdivision of public funds for lobbying activities.

Creates Section 556.0056 in the Government Code prohibiting political subdivisions from using public funds to hire or contract with individuals who must register as lobbyists to lobby members of the legislature.

Prohibits spending public funds to pay nonprofit associations that primarily represent political subdivisions if those associations hire or contract with people required to register as lobbyists.

Adds specific exemptions and permitted activities, including an exception for associations that solely represent elected sheriffs or individual law enforcement officers and several allowances for officers or employees providing information, advocating in certain roles, reimbursing travel, and certain services by full-time employees of associations.

Gives taxpayers or residents the right to seek injunctive relief to stop prohibited spending and to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs if they prevail.

Amends Local Government Code Section 89.002 to make county payment of membership fees and dues subject to the new restrictions in Section 556.0056.
