Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 1 - Provisions of General Application › 92 - Description of Organization and Rules of Practice › II - RULES OF PRACTICE › Article 5 - Procedures Concerning Lobbyists Pursuant to Chapter 10, Part II, Connecticut General Statutes › Part 2 - Financial Reports › Section 1-92-50 - When lobbyists influencing legislative or administrative action shall file financial reports

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Each client
					 lobbyist registrant shall file with the Office of State Ethics, between the
					 first and tenth day of April and July a financial report concerning lobbying
					 activities during the previous calendar quarter. Each client lobbyist
					 registrant shall also file with the Office of State Ethics, between the first
					 and tenth day of January, a financial report concerning lobbying activities
					 during the previous two calendar quarters. In addition, each client lobbyist
					 registrant who attempts to influence legislative action shall file interim
					 monthly reports concerning legislative lobbying activities for each month
					 during which the General Assembly is in regular session for any period of time,
					 to be received by the Office of State Ethics no later than the tenth day of the
					 month following the month reported, except that no monthly report is required
					 for any month in which the client lobbyist registrant neither expends nor
					 enters into an agreement to expend one hundred dollars or more in furtherance
					 of lobbying, regardless of whether lobbying activities are engaged in during
					 the month. A client lobbyist registrant may include on one form all the reports
					 due at a particular time: e.g., a client registered for both legislative and
					 administrative action could put on one form the interim March legislative
					 financial report and the legislative and administrative reports for the first
					 calendar quarter, all due between April 1 and April 10. Client lobbyist
					 registrants attempting to influence legislative or administrative action shall
					 file each quarterly and year-end financial report due under section 1-96 of the
					 Connecticut General Statutes, and this subsection, notwithstanding the fact
					 that no compensation, reimbursement, or expenditures might have been paid
					 during a given period, so that reports are filed for all periods until an
					 effective termination is filed under section 1-95(c) of the Connecticut General
					 Statutes.
(b) Each individual
					 communicator lobbyist registrant and each business organization communicator
					 lobbyist registrant shall file with the Office of State Ethics between the
					 first and tenth day of January a report or reports, signed under penalty of
					 false statement, reporting the amounts of compensation and reimbursement
					 received from each of his clients during the previous year. In addition, each
					 individual communicator lobbyist registrant and each business organization
					 registrant shall:
(1) report the fundamental
					 terms of contracts, agreements or promises to pay or receive compensation or
					 reimbursement or to make expenditures in furtherance of lobbying, including
					 categories of work to be performed and the dollar value or compensation rate of
					 the contract, at the time of registration;
(2) report, in accordance with the schedule
					 set forth in subsection (a) of this section, any amendments to these
					 fundamental terms, including any agreements to subcontract work; and
(3) report, in accordance with the schedule
					 of subsection (a) of this section, any expenditures for the benefit of a public
					 official in the legislative or executive branch or a member of the staff or
					 immediate family of such official, which are unreimbursed and required to be
					 itemized. All such information shall be reported under penalty of false
					 statement.
