| IMPORTANT UPDATE: NEW RESTRICTIONS ON LOBBYING

This *Financial Guide* does not yet include specific language concerning new prohibitions on lobbying with appropriated Federal funds.  New laws include large penalties (minimum of $10,000 per incident) for conducting lobbying activity.  

If you anticipate conducting either direct or indirect lobbying activity of any government (local, state, Federal or international) concerning enactment, repeal, modification, or adoption of a law, regulation or policy, you should contact your ojp grant monitor prior to obligating or spending any Federal funds. You should not follow any guidance on the issue of lobbying currently found in this *Financial Guide*, until the updates are completed.
