Who Needs to Register

Any individual who has contracted with a principal for payment to lobby Citizens must register as a lobbyist with Citizens. In addition, an employee of a principal must register if one of their main or most significant job responsibilities is overseeing their employer’s relationship with Citizens or serving as the employer’s contact with Citizens.

Lobbyists who represent multiple principals must list each principal they are authorized to represent before Citizens and must provide a signed Principal Authorization Form for each principal.

Attorneys or any other person representing a client in a specific judicial or administrative proceeding and communicating with Citizens regarding that specific representation do not need to register unless their representation goes beyond that specific case or issue and includes general policy matters or procurements
