§ 10A.066 HANDBOOK FOR LOBBYING.
Official statutory text
(a) The board must publish on the board's website a handbook for lobbying written in plain language. At a minimum, the handbook must clearly explain:
(1) lobbyist registration requirements, including:
(i) an explanation of when a person is required to register as a lobbyist and what specific types of activities count toward reaching the dollar amount thresholds in section 10A.01 , subdivision 21; and
(ii) how registration requirements apply if a person is employed by a government entity;
(2) which activities and expenses do not count toward the dollar amount thresholds in section 10A.01, subdivision 21 , but are required to be reported as lobbying disbursements on a principal's report; and
(3) any differences between lobbying the legislature, the executive branch, a political subdivision, and the Public Utilities Commission.
(b) The board must regularly update the handbook to reflect changes to statutes and rules. In developing and updating the handbook, the board must consult individuals who are registered lobbyists and individuals who are not full-time lobbyists, including individuals from nonprofit organizations and small organizations.
