Lobbying Disclosure Act Registration Flowchart

Summary

The flowchart illustrates registration requirements under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, as amended (Pub. L. No. 104-65). The Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) is a federal statute designed to increase the transparency and accountability of lobbyists active within Congress and other parts of the federal government. It is administered and maintained by Congress. Amended and amplified by the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007, the LDA requires federal lobbyists to register with the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Secretary of the U.S. Senate, file quarterly reports of lobbying activities, and file semiannual reports of particular contributions.
