(Form 601). If you are an in-house employee lobbyist, enter the name of your employer as contained on the employer’s
registration statement (Form 603).
PERIOD COVERED BY REPORT: The period covered is the calendar quarter. (See the cover sheet of this form for
period covered.)
PART I -- ACTIVITY EXPENSES: An “activity expense” is any expense incurred or payment made which benefits
in whole or in part any elective state official, legislative official, agency official, state candidate, or a member of the
immediate family of one of these individuals. Activity expenses include gifts, honoraria, consulting fees, salaries, and
any other form of compensation but do not include campaign contributions.
An “agency official” is any official of a state agency whose administrative actions you have attempted or are attempting
to influence.
You must itemize all "activity expenses" arranged, incurred or paid by you, and you must report activity expenses during
the period in which they occurred regardless of whether they were actually paid during the period. IMPORTANT: See
the Information Manual on Lobbying Disclosure Provisions of the Political Reform Act for discussion and examples of
“arranging” a gift.
•
If you have not paid, incurred, or arranged any activity expenses during the period, check the box to indicate that
you have nothing to report.
•
If you have paid, incurred, or arranged any activity expenses:
Date: Enter the date the expense was incurred or the event occurred.
Name and Address of Payee: List the name and address of the vendor or other person to whom payment was made
or incurred. If charged on a credit card, you must list the name of the credit card company and also the name of
the vendor which received the payment.
Name and Official Position of Reportable Persons and Amount Benefiting Each: List the name and official
position, if any, of each reportable person who benefited from the payment. Also list the portion of the total
activity expense which is attributable to each reportable person. Note: You are not required to list in this section
yourself or any other person who benefited who is not a reportable person. You must, however, maintain in your
records the total number of persons who benefited.
Description of Consideration: Describe the goods or services received by the reportable person(s), e.g., lunch,
drinks, flowers, etc.
Total Amount of Activity: Enter the total amount paid, arranged, or incurred for the activity, not just the amount
which benefited reportable persons. Regardless of the number of beneficiaries listed for a single payment, enter
the payment in the “Total Amount of Activity” column only once.
PART II -- CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS MADE OR DELIVERED: Check the applicable box and, if you have
made any campaign contributions of $100 or more to state candidates, elected state officers, their controlled committees,
or committees primarily formed to support such an officer or candidate, or personally delivered any contributions of $100
or more to state candidates or elected state officers, complete and attach Part II.
