SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Lobbyists and political committee will have to pay more for the privilege of doing business in California if a bill approved by the Assembly becomes law.

SB1001 would double the registration fees lobbyists pay to the Secretary of State’s Office and require committees and candidates to pay fees, as well. The revenue would go to California’s Cal-Access website, which tracks lobbying activity and campaign finance reports.
