The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Article 9A of Chapter 120 of the General Statutes is amended by adding a new section to read:

Until two years after a member of either house of the General Assembly has ceased to be a member of either house, that person may not engage in any employment or other activity which would require registration as a lobbyist under this Article."
