(2) (a) In addition to the information required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, a

statement filed by an executive agency lobbyist shall show the total amount of

executive agency lobbyist he engaged made expenditures to or on behalf

of a particular elected executive official, the secretary of a cabinet listed

in KRS 12.250, a particular executive agency official, or a particular

member of the staff of any of those officials, the real party in interest,

in this subsection, "expenditures" does not include the expenses of

maintaining office facilities or support services for executive agency lobbyists.

(b) An employer or real party in interest shall not be required to show any

expenditure on a statement filed under this subsection if the expenditure is

reporting of good faith estimates, based on reasonable accounting procedures,

constitutes compliance with this section.

(6) Executive agency lobbyists, employers, and real parties in interest shall retain

receipts or maintain records for all expenditures that are required to be reported

pursuant to this section. These receipts or records shall be maintained for a period

ending on the thirtieth day of June of the second fiscal year after the year in which

the expenditure was made.

(7) At least ten (10) days before the date on which the statement is filed, each

an expenditure statement under subsection (2)(b) of this section shall deliver a copy

of the statement, or the portion showing the expenditure, to the official or employee

who is listed in the statement as having received the expenditure or on whose behalf

it was made.
