Mississippi SB2402 removes the grace period for lobbyists to register with the Secretary of State after engaging in lobbying activities.
Mississippi SB2402 amends the state's lobbying laws by removing the grace period for lobbyists to register with the Secretary of State after they have already engaged in lobbying activities. The bill mandates that lobbyists and their clients must file a registration statement and pay a fee before beginning any lobbying activities. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in civil penalties. The bill also establishes "The Amy Act," which allows the Secretary of State to penalize lobbyists who fail to file required reports.
