Lobby Report Filing
We can take it from here
Do I need to register? How and when do I file? Can a lobbyist or sales rep buy lunch for a government official? Can lobbyists or contractors make political contributions? These are just some of the many lobbying questions we get. We’d be happy to help you navigate the complex waters of political lobbying on a contract or as-needed basis.
Answers:
- “Do I need to register?” Depends. Some state require registration for just one call or meeting.
- “How and when do I file?” Depends. We get regular updates and can take the worry out of wondering by filing for you.
- “Can a lobbyist or sales rep buy lunch for a government official?” Depends. The answers vary by jurisdiction and your status.
- “Can lobbyists or contractors make political contributions?” Depends. Several states prohibit contributions by lobbyists, a few prohibit lobbyists from even participation in PAC or corporate contribution decision-making. Some contractor contributor bans extend to all senior corporate executives, board members, and their spouses. Violating the rules can result in a contracting ban.
