redress of grievances and to exchange information and express their opinions freely
with members of the Legislative Branch and legislative committees on matters relating
to legislation or any other legislative action. 2. The primary public purpose of this chapter is to provide both disclosure and regulation
of lobbying activities in order to promote and foster the people's faith, trust and
confidence in the honesty, integrity and fidelity of their representative government. 3. With regard to the provisions of this chapter regulating gift-giving by lobbyists,
the additional public purpose of those provisions is to guard against any possible

arise from such gift-giving by lobbyists, which will thereby promote and foster the
people's faith, trust and confidence in the honesty, integrity and fidelity of their
representative government. 4. To further the public purposes of this chapter, the provisions of this chapter
must be liberally construed and broadly interpreted to achieve their intended public
