Registration

Every lobbyist must file a joint registration with his or her employer (client), and pay a registration fee of $200 for each lobbyist and $100 for each lobbyist associate. (Please read the definitions of lobbying, lobbyist, and legislative action and the Lobbying FAQ to determine if you qualify as a lobbyist.) The registration may be completed online or on paper. The joint registration must be filed within 15 business days after the lobbyist has completed eight hours of lobbying in any calendar month. Lobbyists may register by completing the paper registration form and submitting it along with the fees to the Commission. Lobbyists may also use the online registration feature on this website. Please see the link to "Lobbyist Registration" in the navigational menu on the left hand side of this page.

The registration expires on November 30 after the end of the next legislative session. The registration may also be terminated if the employer notifies the Commission that it is no longer engaging the lobbyist.

Every registered lobbyist is required to file monthly reports with the Commission, except that after the legislative session has ended, the lobbyist may request a waiver of the requirement if the lobbyist does not anticipate conducting any further lobbying before the following December 1st.
