The fact that a particular activity constitutes "lobbying" does not necessarily mean that an individual must register as a lobbyist. See K.A.R. 19-62 on the issue of registration.
(b) Exceptions. The communication of factual material which is not intended to promote or oppose the adoption or nonadoption of rules and regulations and which is unaccompanied by active advocacy does not constitute lobbying. In addition, the preparation of proposed or recommended rules and regulations or the monitoring of the adoption process does not constitute lobbying.
