Key Takeaways:
Several states require registration going into 2022, but in others, your current 2021 registration covers 2022. In 34 states (see map below), registration is required for 2022. In 15 states, current registration covers all or part of 2022. In Nevada, registration is required in the event of a special session. And for the month of December, 13 states and two municipalities (City of Honolulu and City of San Francisco) have disclosures due.
