Answer:

No elected officer may be compensated, act, or register as a lobbyist, other than a public employee lobbyist, for 2 years after termination of service.

Step-by-step explanation:

Former government officials must undergo a waiting period before becoming lobbyists so they cannot use friendships and inside information on behalf of special interests.
