Or. Admin. R. 199-010-0025 - Lobbyist Registration and Termination Requirements

(1) Individuals not exempted in ORS 171.735 from the lobbying registration law must register within three business days after spending either $100 or 24 hours during a calendar quarter on lobbying activities or within three business days after agreeing to provide personal services for money or any other consideration for the purpose of lobbying.

(2) All lobbyists must register with the Commission through the EFS database located on the Commission's website. The Commission's website also contains a Lobby Guide for registrants. Lobbyists may contact the Commission by phone at 503-378-5105 or at ogec.mail@oregon.gov for assistance.

(3) Lobbyists must file a registration for each person, business or organization they represent. Registration requirements also apply to persons who lobby on behalf of public agencies. If a lobbyist works for a lobbying firm that has multiple clients, the lobbyist must register to represent each client of the lobbying firm on whose behalf the lobbyist provides lobbying services.

(4) All lobbyist registrations expire on December 31 of each odd-numbered year. Renewals must be filed before January 31 of the following even-numbered year to be considered a continuous registration.

(5) Once registered with the Commission, a lobbyist must register each additional client/employer within three business days of agreeing to provide personal services for money or any other consideration for the purpose of lobbying on behalf of that client/employer.

(6) If a lobbyist discontinues lobbying on behalf of a client/employer, the registration must be terminated within three business days. Either a lobbyist or a represented client/employer may terminate a lobbyist registration at any time by an EFS filing with the Commission and the termination is effective on the date it is successfully filed electronically.
