Travel and Events Under the New Lobbying Rules-New Requirements, New Procedures and New Penalties: CD/Transcript Package
The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act (HLOGA) is clear about penalties, but not so clear about how to sponsor travel and events without triggering them.
For starters, different forms and procedures apply to executive branch personnel as well as to House and Senate members and staff - so what's fine for one situation may be a violation in another. Plus, in addition to providing all-new information, you must prove the information was "administered."
Don't wait! Get the CD and transcript for your field's clearest guidance on what to do (and avoid), and how to certify you've done it.
Order your CD and transcript today for Travel and Events Under the New Lobbying Rules: New Requirements, New Procedures and New Penalties. This vital audioconference conducted by Kenneth A. Gross - one of the nation's leading legal authorities on HLOGA -explains exactly how travel and event requirements have changed, including how to comply with tough new certification that applies even to employees not usually covered by lobbying law (including federal contractors).
