- (1) Individuals not exempted in ORS 171.735 from the lobbying registration law must register within three business days after spending either $100 or 24 hours during a calendar quarter on lobbying activities or within three business days after agreeing to provide personal services for money or any other consideration for the purpose of lobbying.
- (2) All lobbyists must register with the Commission through the EFS database located on the Commission's website. The Commission's website also contains a Lobby Guide for registrants. Lobbyists may contact the Commission by phone at 503-378-5105 or at ogec.mail@oregon.gov for assistance.
- (3) Lobbyists must file a registration for each person, business or organization they represent. Registration requirements also apply to persons who lobby on behalf of public agencies. If a lobbyist works for a lobbying firm that has multiple clients, the lobbyist must register to represent each client of the lobbying firm on whose behalf the lobbyist provides lobbying services.
- (4) All lobbyist registrations expire on December 31 of each odd-numbered year. Renewals must be filed before January 31 of the following even-numbered year to be considered a continuous registration.
- (5) Once registered with the Commission, a lobbyist must register each additional client/employer within three business days of agreeing to provide personal services for money or any other consideration for the purpose of lobbying on behalf of that client/employer.
- (6) If a lobbyist discontinues lobbying on behalf of a client/employer, the registration must be terminated within three business days. Either a lobbyist or a represented client/employer may terminate a lobbyist registration at any time by an EFS filing with the Commission and the termination is effective on the date it is successfully filed electronically.
