New lobbying regulations and community organisations
The Lobbying (Scotland) Act was recently signed into law, bringing with it new requirements for community organisations who discuss their work with MSPs, Scottish Government ministers, Special Advisers and the Permanent Secretary.
If as an employee of your organisation you discuss government policy or decision making with certain people then you might need to register as a regulated lobbyist and note the discussion on the new https://www.lobbying.scot website.
