What’s inside

Murphy, Jill Jacobs, Shaheen Pradhan, and Tara Targovnik from Eleanor Joseph & Associates on October 14th to talk about lobbying disclosure rules and the role of bill tracking. Did you miss it?

Key takeaways
- Knowing when you are lobbying is harder than it sounds. Definitions vary significantly by state, and activities like monitoring legislation or attending hearings can cross into reportable territory depending on your jurisdiction.
- Your bill tracking records are a compliance asset, not just an operational tool. Documenting the bills you monitor, the positions you take, and the contacts you log creates an audit trail that supports accurate filings and protects you if your activity is ever questioned.
- A consistent internal workflow is your best defense against disclosure violations. Tracking who logs what, building in review checkpoints, and reconciling your records against filing deadlines before they arrive turns compliance from a scramble into a routine.
