The two chambers approved different versions of the key provision– requiring for the first time that lobbyists report campaign checks they bundle for candidates — when they passed reform packages earlier this year. But now, Senate Democratic leaders are redrafting the reform to shift responsibility for the disclosure from lobbyists to the candidates themselves, several sources close to the process confirmed. The change would have the effect of giving lawmakers control over the sensitive disclosure. Depending on how the new language is written, it also could weaken what reform advocates hailed as one of the most significant accomplishments in the overhaul packages.”
