OAR 199-010-0060: Who Must File Quarterly Expenditure Reports

The following are required to file quarterly expenditure reports with the Commission through the Commission's electronic filing system (EFS): (1) Any person registered as a lobbyist must file quarterly expenditure reports. (2) Any person, business, organization or public agency that engages a lobbyist who is registered as a lobbyist under OAR 199-010-0025 of these rules, must file a quarterly report of lobbying expenditures. (3) An expenditure report must be filed even if there were no expenditures during the reporting period. (4) An expenditure report must be filed for any portion of a reporting period prior to a registration termination. For example, if a lobbyist or a client/employer terminates a registration on April 2nd, an expenditure report would still be required from the lobbyist and the client/employer for expenditures made in the 2nd quarter.
