Title 3: LEGISLATURE

Chapter 15: LOBBYIST DISCLOSURE PROCEDURES

§314. Duration of registration

Each joint registration filed pursuant to this chapter automatically expires on the last day of the year during which the person was registered to lobby, unless as otherwise provided. [1993, c. 446, Pt. A, §11 (AMD); 1993, c. 446, Pt. A, §20 (AFF).]

A joint registration expires if the employer notifies the commission in writing that the lobbyist is no longer engaged by the employer to lobby. If termination occurs prior to November 30th, the notification must be given within 30 days of the termination. [1993, c. 691, §12 (RPR).]

If termination is effected prior to November 30th, no further reports are required, except that the lobbyist and employer are required to file an annual report pursuant to section 317, subsection 2. The filing of an annual report, signed by the lobbyist and employer, before November 30th is considered a notification of termination. [1993, c. 691, §13 (RPR).]

Any new registration must be filed pursuant to section 313 before any lobbying is commenced after the lobbyist's employment has been terminated. [1993, c. 446, Pt. A, §11 (AMD); 1993, c. 446, Pt. A, §20 (AFF).]
