Starting January 2014, changes to the rules for lobbyists in Georgia will go into effect and nonprofits that lobby should pay attention as the fines for noncompliance are significant. Even if your employees, contractors and volunteers have not had to register as lobbyists in the past, the updated law may require them to register. The old “10 percent” rule is gone, and the standard for who is considered a lobbyist has been both greatly simplified and significantly expanded. Other changes to the law include removal of the registration fees and changes to the definition of permitted lobbying expenditures. Our new article will help your organization determine if the activities of your employees, contractors and volunteers make them lobbyists under the updated Georgia law, and what they need to do if they are considered lobbyists.
