Lobbyist Registration
(1)
Individuals not exempted in ORS 171.735 (Exceptions to application of ORS 171.740 and 171.745) from the lobbying registration law must register within three working days after spending either $100 or 24 hours during a calendar quarter on lobbying activities.(2)
All lobbyists must register by submitting an official Lobbyist Registration Statement form. The form is available on the Commission’s website at www.oregon.gov/ogec/forms_publications.shtml or from the Oregon Government Ethics Commission by telephone to (503) 378-5105 or by email to ogec.mail@state.or.us.(3)
Lobbyists must file a registration statement for each person, business or organization they represent. This requirement also applies to persons who lobby on behalf of public agencies. An organization or business comprised of more than one lobbyist may file one registration statement on behalf of the lobbyists with that organization or business. The registration statement must include the names of all the individual lobbyists authorized to lobby on behalf of the person, business or organization represented. The form must otherwise conform to the requirements of OAR 199-010-0035 (Instructions for Completing Lobbyist Registration Statement). Each named lobbyist shall sign the form certifying to the accuracy of the information on the statement.(4)
All lobbyist registrations expire on December 31 of each odd-numbered year. Renewals must be filed by March 31 of the following even-numbered year to be considered a continuous registration.(5)
Once registered with the Commission, a lobbyist must file a registration statement for each additional client/employer within three working days of engaging in representation of that client/employer.(6)
Either a lobbyist or a represented client/employer may terminate a lobbyist registration at any time by submitting a lobbyist termination form or by providing a written notification to the Commission. Terminations are effective on the date they are received in the Commission offices.
