The Registration is considered a forward-looking document that requires Lobbyists (including Public Corporations) to disclose anticipated lobbying activities including the expected subject(s), targets and money involved with lobbying for a particular Client during a biennial period. Registrations must be filed on a biennial basis by any Lobbyist who is retained, employed, or designated to lobby, and who meets or reasonably anticipates combined Reportable Compensation and Expenses in excess of $5,000 for Lobbying Activities on a State and/or Municipal level, in any calendar year during the biennial period.
The Lobbyist Statement of Registration contains information on the organizations and individuals registered to lobby with the Commission that includes the identities of the Lobbyists and Clients, lobbying agreement and compensation information, and descriptions of anticipated lobbying activities, subjects and parties lobbied. Registrations cover a biennial two-year period (2019-2020, 2021-2022, etc.)
