Lobbying Law for Associations
New Rules, New Deadlines
CD/Transcript Package
By April, you must file all-new documentation to prove that everyone in your association — and all your members — are in compliance with the new lobbying law. Plus, you might need to disclose additional information, including which members are heavily involved in government relations.
Trouble is, your HLOGA responsibilities depend on how your association is set up: Recordkeeping that’s fine for one association could expose you to $200,000 fines and jail time.
Don’t wait — learn now what compliance means for your specific organization.
Get the CD/Transcript of Lobbying Law for Associations: New Rules, New Deadlines. You’ll hear Brock Landry and Ron Jacobs - experts on association government relations and compliance - explain how to align your policies and records with HLOGA requirements and meet upcoming certification and reporting deadlines.
Find out:
- Who within the association must register as a lobbyist
- How HLOGA affects your decision to register employees as lobbyists
- What special reporting rules apply to your association and its members
- How new travel and events rules reshape your options in having government employees speak at trade shows, conferences, educational events or participate in a charitable activity
