When is Lobbying Registration Required? As Always, It Depends
May 20, 2024 | David Kobylka, Bradley Coffey
Lobbying compliance is a state of mind, and something you should always be thinking about to avoid penalties. Here, we provide some tips for knowing when registration is required that will help you stay organized and in compliance as you embark on your government affairs and advocacy work (plus, some states to watch out for). States can generally be split into two groups: states in which registration is required prior to or shortly after making lobbying contacts, and states in which registration as a lobbyist is not required prior to making lobbying contacts. Unfortunately, this is about where the similarities stop — states are very unique in definitions and rules. However, there are some generalizations we can make that anyone meeting with legislators should keep in mind.
