Notifying Recipients for the May-August 2012 Reporting Period

Anytime the name of a recipient (public official or reportable staff)   is disclosed on an Activity and Expenditure Report, the recipient MUST be notified (in writing) at least 10 days before the report can be filed in OLAC.

In order to timely file May-August 2012 Activity and Expenditure Reports, recipients must be notified on or before September 20, 2012.

The OLIG offers a Non-Disputed Notification Form located under the ‘News & Information’ heading on our homepage (www.ohiolobbying.com). The document can be personalized for each recipient and emailed to them. The recipient has 10 days to dispute the expenditure. An expenditure is not reportable if the recipient reimburses for the cost of the gift or meal/beverage.
