Expenditures made by the lobbyist for the purposes of 12 10 providing the services enumerated under section 68B.2, 12 11 subsection1312A, paragraph "a". 12 12 For purposes of this subsection, "expenditures" does not 12 13 include expenditures made by any organization for publishing a 12 14 newsletter or other informational release for its members. 12 15 2.AAn executive branch lobbyistbefore a state agency or12 16the office of the governorshall file with the board, on forms 12 17 prescribed by the board, a report disclosing the same items 12 18 described in subsection 1, which were made or given for 12 19 purposes of providing the services enumerated under section 12 20 68B.2, subsection 8A, paragraph "a". 12 21 3. The reports by legislative lobbyistsbefore the general12 22assemblyshall be filed not later than twenty-five days 12 23 following any month in which the general assembly is in 12 24 session and thereafter on or before July 31, October 31, and 12 25 January 31. The reports filed by a legislative lobbyist 12 26before the general assemblyshall contain information for the 12 27 preceding calendar month or quarter or parts thereof during 12 28 which the person was engaged in lobbying. Reports filed by 12 29 lobbyists before a state agency shall be filed on or before 12 30 April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31, for the 12 31 preceding calendar quarter or parts thereof during which the 12 32 person was engaged in lobbying. 12 33 If a person cancels the person's lobbyist registration at 12 34 any time during the calendar year, the reports required by 12 35 this section are due on the dates required by this section or 13 1 fifteen days after cancellation, whichever is earlier. The 13 2 report due January 31 shall include all reportable items for 13 3 the preceding calendar year in addition to containing the 13 4 quarterly reportable items. A lobbyist who cancels the 13 5 person's lobbyist registration before January 1 of a year 13 6 shall file a report listing all reportable items for the year 13 7 in which the cancellation was filed. A lobbyist who cancels 13 8 the person's lobbyist registration between January 1 and 13 9 January 15 of a year shall file a report listing all 13 10 reportable items for the preceding year and so much of the 13 11 month of January as has expired at the time of cancellation. 13 12 However, if a lobbyist is a person who is designated to 13 13 represent the interest of an organization as defined in 13 14 section 68B.2, subsection1312A, paragraph "a", subparagraph 13 15 (2), but is not paid compensation for that representation and 13 16 does not expend more than one thousand dollars as provided in 13 17 section 68B.2, subsection1312A, paragraph "a", subparagraph 13 18(4)(2), the lobbyist shall only be required to file the 13 19 report specified in this section once annually, which shall be 13 20 performed at the time of filing the person's lobbyist 13 21 registration form or forms. 13 22 EXPLANATION 13 23 This bill makes changes to the definition of the term 13 24 "client" by modifying the language to clarify that the term 13 25 does not include every member of an organization, association, 13 26 corporation, business, or other similar entity. The changes 13 27 provide that the term does include a member of such an 13 28 entity's board or other policymaking or governing body and any 13 29 person who is the spokesperson for or person designated to act 13 30 on behalf of the entity. 13 31 This bill strikes the definition of the term "lobbyist" and 13 32 rewrites the definition to refer to two new definitions: 13 33 "executive branch lobbyist"; and "legislative branch 13 34 lobbyist". The definition of "executive branch lobbyist" 13 35 applies only to persons who receive compensation for 14 1 activities which include both direct contact and efforts on 14 2 behalf of a client in support of contacting state agency 14 3 employees, the governor's office, or the office of any 14 4 statewide elected official with regard to the formulation, 14 5 modification, adoption, administration, or execution of a 14 6 state law, a rule, an executive order, program, policy, or 14 7 official position. 14 8 The definition of "legislative lobbyist" refers to 14 9 individuals who either are paid compensation for purposes of 14 10 directly or indirectly encouraging the passage, defeat, or 14 11 modification of legislation or a rule by the general assembly 14 12 and individuals who are not paid but who either represent 14 13 organizations which lobby the legislature on legislation or 14 14 rules or make expenditures of over $1,000 to personally lobby 14 15 the legislature on legislation or rules. 14 16 Section 68B.7, which prohibits former state officials, 14 17 employees, legislators, and legislative employees from 14 18 appearances or receiving compensation for services from others 14 19 on matters with which those persons were directly or 14 20 personally involved and which prohibits board or commission 14 21 members, or regulatory agency heads and deputies, from 14 22 accepting employment with or receiving compensation for 14 23 services from others for appearances in front of that agency 14 24 after termination of employment, is rewritten and the 14 25 language, which is contained in that section that prohibits 14 26 board and commission members and regulatory agency heads from 14 27 lobbying the general assembly after termination of service, is 14 28 stricken. A postemployment lobbying activities prohibition 14 29 which would apply to the same persons is contained in section 14 30 68B.5A. 14 31 The board complaint process, which is contained in section 14 32 68B.32B, is amended to delete a preliminary staff review of 14 33 complaints for legal sufficiency. Legal sufficiency will, 14 34 instead, be determined by the board under the changes. 14 35 The deadlines for the filing of personal financial 15 1 disclosure statements by candidates are amended to reference 15 2 additional methods by which and dates on which a person may 15 3 become a candidate.
