| | Description: | Companies that have individual employees who will be lobbying on their behalf, or have retained outside lobbyists or lobbying entities to lobby on their behalf, are required to register as a lobbying entity. Each calendar year, lobbyist registration is required on or before January 31 if the lobbying entity and its exclusive lobbyists are continuing from the previous year; otherwise, lobbying entities and exclusive lobbyists must register before any service is performed that requires registration, but in any event no later than two business days after being employed or retained. | |
