Based on a review of the quarterly report format used for the July 15th reporting period, a new report format was created with the aim of improving reporting compliance and capture of required report details.

The new report format is shown in Attachment 1 and the additional FAQs are shown in Attachment 2.

Attachment 3 is the Lobbyist 2010 3rd Quarter Report which lists a lobbyist’s reporting history (reports filed), active clients, staff contact points, issues sought to be influenced, and lobbyist names.
