Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 2.1-639.4:1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 2.1-639.4:1. Prohibited conduct for certain officers and employees of state government.
In addition to the prohibitions contained in § 2.1-639.4, no state officer
or employee shall, during the one year for two years
after the termination date of his public employment or
service, represent a client or act in a representative capacity on behalf of
any person or group, for compensation, on any matter before the agency of which
he was an officer or employee.
For the purposes of this section, "state officer or employee" shall
mean means (i) the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney
General, and officers appointed by the Governor, whether confirmation by the
General Assembly or by either house thereof is required or not, who are
regularly employed on a full-time salaried basis; those officers and employees
of executive branch agencies who report directly to the agency head; and those
at the level immediately below those who report directly to the agency head and
are at a salary grade of sixteen or higher and (ii) the officers and
professional employees of the legislative branch designated by the joint rules
committee of the General Assembly. For the purposes of this section, the
General Assembly and the legislative branch agencies shall be deemed one
agency.
The prohibitions of this section shall apply only to persons engaged in activities that would require registration as a lobbyist under § 2.1-782.
Any person subject to the provisions of this section may apply to the Attorney General, as provided in § 2.1-639.23, for an advisory opinion as to the application of the restriction imposed by this section on any post-public employment position or opportunity.
