《遊說法》立法目的是為了使遊說活動公開化，防止不當的利益輸送，保障民眾參與政治的權利。《遊說法》實施迄今已逾七年，使用率不高，且受到學者及立委的質疑，遊說法—陽光法案曬死民間公益團體？一、遊說應以「登記或報備」為原則，被遊說人所屬機關不應做任何審查，以保障公民監督公共事務及自由表達之權利。二、重新界定被遊說對象的範圍，將助理、黨團等納入。三、取消社會公益團體自行遊說議題的限制。四、遊說法是否適用於政黨與其黨籍立委、政府首長之間的遊說，應儘速釐清。因此遊說法有進一步檢討修法之必要。
本研究係採文獻回顧、參與觀察，以及深度訪談與焦點團體座談為之。以《遊說法》、利益團體的理論、遊說活動以及相關的法律規範為主要研究的文獻。並且以多個利益團體案例當作深度訪談及焦點座談的案例探討之對象，瞭解遊說法實施後所面對的問題以及需要改進之處。
研究發現《遊說法》對於遊說者過度規範；被遊說者的定義範圍應該擴大；被遊說者及所屬機關能否決遊說者的遊說申請；遊說者還有其它表達意見之方式及文書作業繁雜的原因，可能是導致使用率偏低之成因。本研究針對法的實施狀況，進行廣泛性與比較性的研究，以做為決策單位與立法機關的修法參考。
《遊說法》需要進行修法，首先需要將立委助理納入被遊說者之規範；簡化遊說者的文書作業。推動以報備制為主的遊說制度，並且考慮可以改採網路申報的方式等等。遊說法施行後所發生問題：1.受託遊說登記少，實際遊說難規範。2.遊說准駁政府自由心證，民眾無所適從。3.政府機關帶頭違法：遊說資訊未公開。4.主管機關便宜行事，曲解書面遊說定義。5.文書作業繁瑣，徒增民間團體困擾。
立法修法工作達臻理想境界，絕非一蹴可幾，不是一次就可立馬到位，應當持續關注動態輿論，修法需要考量當前的政治經濟環境，社會時空背景，遊說活動情況，遊說專業程度等要素，尋求建構最適合國家發展之現時情況的遊說制度。

It had been seven years since the legislation of the Lobbying Act. but it is not only rarely used but also criticized by scholars and Member of Congress, thus it would be necessary to re-examine the Lobbying Act.

This research would also contains in-depth interview of many specific interest groups in the purpose of digging out the question of the Lobbying Act. and the possible improvements.
This paper found certain factors which would explain why the Lobbying Act. is so rarely used: the over regulation on l lobbyist, the definition of who to be lobbied, the government institutions have the power to deny lobbying, and the complexity of records might make other ways more attractive than lobbying. It is hoped that the research result will provide a foundation for lawmakers to ponder the revision of the Law.
This paper suggest that the Lobbying Act. needs to be reformed. First, the assistant of Member of Congress must be considered as parts of who to be lobbied, and simplify the records of lobbying. The reform of the Lobbying Act. should beconsistent rather than one-time, we must take the context of political environment into account to form the possible best Lobbying Act.
