Part 4511.0200 - REGISTRATION

Subpart 1. Separate registration required for each entity.

A lobbyist who lobbies on behalf of more than one individual, association, political subdivision, or public higher education system shall register separately for each separate entity. Members or affiliates of an association represented by a lobbyist are not separate entities for the purposes of this requirement.

Subp. 2. Separate registration for each lobbyist.

Multiple lobbyists representing the same individual, association, political subdivision, or higher education system must each register separately. A lobbyist who provides lobbying disbursements to the board through a reporting lobbyist must list the name and registration number of the reporting lobbyist on a lobbyist registration. If the reporting lobbyist changes, or if the lobbyist ceases to report through a reporting lobbyist, the lobbyist must amend the registration within ten days.

Subp. 3. Registration of designated lobbyist.

A designated lobbyist must indicate on the lobbyist registration form that the lobbyist will be reporting disbursements for the entity the lobbyist represents. An entity that employs lobbyists may have only one designated lobbyist. A designated lobbyist who ceases to be responsible for reporting the lobbying disbursements of an entity must amend the lobbyist's registration with the board within ten days.

Subp. 4. Registration of reporting lobbyist.

A reporting lobbyist must indicate on the lobbyist registration form that the lobbyist will be reporting disbursements for additional lobbyists representing the same entity. The registration must list the name and registration number of each lobbyist that will be included in reports of disbursements made by the reporting lobbyist. Changes to the list of lobbyists represented by a reporting lobbyist must be amended on the reporting lobbyist registration within ten days, or provided to the board at the time of filing a report required by Minnesota Statutes, section 10A.04, subdivision 2.
