Termination of Engagement
An executive agency lobbyist is required to notify the office of the Executive Branch Ethics Commission within 30 days after the termination of an engagement. Such notification is made using the Termination Notification Form. The form should be completed, signed and attached to the executive agency lobbyist's final Updated Registration Statement.
If the engagement exists for even one day into a reporting period, the executive agency lobbyist, employer, and the real party in interest must file an Updated Registration Statement for that period. The executive agency lobbyist, employer, and real party in interest may file their respective Updated Registration Statements at the time of termination if the executive agency lobbyist has only one employer and real party in interest, or the employer and real party in interest have only one executive agency lobbyist. Otherwise, the executive agency lobbyist, employer, and real party in interest may wait until the end of the reporting period to report terminations.
When all lobbyists engaged by an employer or real party in interest terminate their registrations with the Commission, then the employer/ real party in interest has effectively terminated their registration with the Commission as well. However, the employer/real party in interest must file a final Updated Registration Statement with the Commission and pay the $125 registration fee for the final reporting period.
