§ Ethics Rule 5.22Executive Lobbyist Report Required Information

Each Executive Lobbyist Report shall include, but not be limited
to, the following information:
1. The cost of each meal provided during the reporting period
for a state officer or employee of an agency for which he or she is
registered and the date on which the meal was provided. The cost
shall include the price, plus any applicable tax but shall not
include a gratuity. In calculating the price of the meal, items such
as appetizers or hors d’oeuvre or beverages may be apportioned by
dividing the total cost of the item equally by the number of
participants, where the individual cost per participant is difficult
or impossible to ascertain; provided, however, the individual price
of other items, such as salads, entrees or individual beverages shall
be attributed to individual participants. Any food and beverages
provided other than as part of a meal and valued at more than Ten
Dollars ($10.00) in the aggregate during a calendar year shall be
reported separately.
2. The aggregate total number and cost of items reported in
subsection 1 of this Rule, including any during this reporting
period, for a state officer or employee of an agency for which he or
she is registered.
Nominal costs of transportation by private motor vehicle or
similar public transportation such as a taxi provided by an executive
lobbyist to and from the location of a meal or event shall be
permitted but shall not be reported. Reports by executive lobbyists
shall be filed electronically, unless otherwise ordered by the
Commission or the Executive Director of the Commission. Expenditures
made by a lobbyist principal that is represented by more than one
executive lobbyist shall be reported on only one Executive Lobbyist
Report by an executive lobbyist; any other executive lobbyist
representing the same lobbyist principal shall indicate on the
Executive Lobbyist Report the name of the executive lobbyist
reporting the expenditure on behalf of the lobbyist principal.
