A State-by-State Look at Lobbyist Disclosure Requirements and Forms.

Last Updated July 2, 2012

State-by-State Lobbyist Activity Disclosure Requirements

  • Name of Recipient: Do lobbyists have to disclose the name of the person who received any money or contact from the lobbyist?
  • Quarterly Disclosure: Are lobbyists required to disclose their expenditures at least once every quarter?
  • Name of Client: Do lobbyists have to disclose the name of the principal client on whose behalf they gave a certain expenditure?
  • Issue/Action: Do lobbyists have to disclose the issue they lobbied to change or the action they wanted taken by an executive agency?
  • Employers: Do those who employ lobbying services also have to complete spending reports?
  • Date: Are lobbyists required to list the date they made any contact with an elected official?
  • Online: Can lobbyists submit and file electronically?
  • Expenditure: Are expenditure reports available online?
  • List: Can the public access a list of lobbyists registered in the state?
  • List Online: Is this list online and available in a searchable and sortable format? 
  • State Integrity Grade: What grade did the State Integrity Investigation give regarding potential corruption?

Explantion of Chart: A white box means that the answer to the corresponding question is "Yes." A gray box means the answer to the corresponding question is "No." The text is, if necessary, a further explanation or clarification of the state's practices, but the two-color system makes it easy for those just looking for a yes or now answer to quickly figure it out.

Sources: Every answer to these questions was found from one of the four following sources: The section of the state's code regarding lobbying disclosure (linked in the "State" column), information from the State Integrity Investigation's Lobbying Disclosure (linked in the "State Integrity Grade" column), the actual disclosure form for each state (found in the table below this one), and the website of the state's ethics commission or equivalent (found at the table on the bottom of the page).
