Executive Branch Lobbying
Do I need to register?
If you are an individual who is paid at least $1,000 to make contact with an executive branch agency for the purpose of trying to influence the outcome of a contract; a lease; another financial arrangement; or a rule, then you may be an Executive Branch Lobbyist and you may be required to register with the Indiana Department of Administration as an Executive Branch Lobbyist. To learn if you need to register, please review 25 IAC 6, the Executive Branch Lobbyist Registration Rule.
Lobbyist Requirements
Lobbyists have fifteen business days from the date of initial contact with an executive branch agency to file an initial Executive Branch Lobbyist Registration Statement with the Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA).
Once you have filed your initial registration statement you will be required to file an annual report at the end of the year. Also, Indiana law requires that you update your registration within 15 days of any material change in your lobbyist registration information. A material change includes termination of an engagement to lobby.
As a part of your initial registration statement you will be required to verify that you have read and complied with the state statutes governing ethics and conflicts of interests. More information on those statutes is available below.
