The agreement forbids any tobacco company executives, employees, contract lobbyists, or anyone else who lobbies on the companies' behalf to support or oppose any federal, state, or local legislation or governmental action without the express authorization of the tobacco company. The agreement also requires that, in those states that do not already require the tobacco companies to disclose their lobbying expenditures, the tobacco companies must periodically disclose any payment to a lobbyist that the tobacco company knows or has reason to know will be used to influence state or local legislation or governmental action pertaining to tobacco products or their use -- if the state attorney general requests that they do so.
