Lobbying Registration Renewals

On December 31st ALL LOBBYING ENGAGEMENTS (LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AGENCY, AND RETIREMENT SYSTEM) expire in OLAC.

 Starting December 15th lobbyists can begin renewing engagements in their OLAC accounts*.  All renewed engagements must be submitted in OLAC by January 31st.

The streamlined renewal process will end on January 31, 2013. Registrations filed after this date will require a Signature Page signed by both the lobbyist and the employer along with the filing fee.

Remember: Registration Renewals no longer require the employer signature.

In order for renewed registrations to become active, an Invoice and filing fee ($25 per engagement) must be received by the OLIG by February 21st for each 2013 engagement. To generate the invoice, click on the ‘Print Invoice’ button located at the top of each registration confirmation page.

Note- the 2013 lobbying calendar is now available at www.ohiolobbying.com.

*Lobbyists should only renew engagements for entities that they intend to lobby on behalf of in 2013.
