The JACK Act, which became effective on January 3, amends the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) requiring all registrations (form LD-1) and quarterly reports (form LD-2) filed after January 3 to include:</p> <p style="margin-left: 35px;">"for any listed lobbyist who was convicted in a Federal or State court of an offense involving bribery, extortion, embezzlement, an illegal kickback, tax evasion, fraud, a conflict of interest, making a false statement, perjury, or money laundering, the date of the conviction and a description of the offense."</p> <p>At this time, our offices are developing the technical changes necessary for this reporting on the two relevant forms. We will have those changes, with additional guidance, available as soon as possible and will notify filers when the changes are available in the system. If the statutory timelines require you to file a registration or quarterly report before the amended forms are available, please do so, and then, if necessary, amend the filing to include the relevant information, once it is possible to do so.</p> <p>Legislative Resource Center<br /> 202-226-5200<br /> <a href="mailto:lobbyInfo@mail.house.gov">LobbyInfo@mail.house.gov</a> </p> <p>Senate Office of Public Records<br /> 202-224-0758 <br /> <a href="mailto:lobby@sec.senate.gov">Lobby@sec.senate.gov</a> </p> <br /> </div> <br /> <div> <h3 style="margin-bottom: 0;"><span class="notice_date">January 2019</span><br /> Year-End Contribution Report Filing Reminder</h3> <p>The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 requires active lobbying registrants and individual lobbyists to file a semi-annual report of certain contributions along with certification that the filer understands the gift and travel rules of both the House and the Senate.

Comments and suggestions should be directed to the Senate Office of Public Records and the House Legislative Resource Center in time for evaluation before the next reporting cycle.</p> </div> <hr /> <div> <h3 style="margin-bottom: 0;"><span class="notice_date">July 16, 2008</span></h3> <p>In order to accommodate the thousands of new filers who are required to participate in the LD203 disclosure process, we have amended our guidance to provide some clarification and assist new filers in the completion of the LD203 form.</p> </div> <hr /> <div> <h3><span class="notice_date">June 2008</span><br />LD-203 Contributions Reporting System</h3> <p>The Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Secretary of the U.S. Senate are pleased to announce the release of the LD-203 Contribution Reporting system, effective June 30, 2008.</p> <p>The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 requires lobbying registrants and individual lobbyists to file a semi-annual report of certain contributions, along with a certification that the filer understands the gift and travel rules of both the House and the Senate. These reports are due by July 30th (for the January through June reporting period) and by January 30th (for the July through December reporting period) or the next business day should either of those days fall on a weekend or holiday. <strong>Registrants, and each of their lobbyists, who were active for all or part of the semi-annual reporting period</strong> must file separate reports detailing certain FECA contributions, honorary contributions, presidential library contributions, and payments for event costs.</p> <p>The Contribution Reporting system will provide access to a pre-populated contribution form for each filer. Access to this system is based on current LDA registrations and reports with the House and Senate. Each filer must sign into the system with a User ID and password. Based on the User ID, the filer will be able to update contact information, create a new filing for a reporting period, and file their form. <strong>All communications regarding filing and account status are automated and will be sent to the address on file for an account via email.</strong></p> <p>Registrants will use the same ID and password that are used to file other lobbying disclosure forms to sign into the system, and must verify the registered lobbyist name before an account can be created for each employee. When a lobbyist name has been verified by the employer, the lobbyist must create a unique password before access to the system is permitted.</p> <p>Features of the new system and filing process include:</p> <ul> <li>Automated retrieval of lobbyist ID numbers and passwords;</li> <li>Pre-populated forms containing the appropriate ID numbers and names, as well as contact information, for each filer;</li> <li>Filings that can be saved on the system and retrieved to append before filing or to amend after filing;</li> <li>A streamlined process to file forms with the House and Senate with a single button to sign the form with your ID and password and submit it;</li> <li>An online help manual and demonstrations accessible from each screen;</li> <li>A system that works on Windows and Macintosh computers, requiring only a User ID and password to create and file forms.</li> </ul> <p>To assist you, training is available on DVD (which will be mailed to each active registrant) and online from our Web sites. These tutorials will show you, step-by-step, how to use the new filing system. To provide ongoing support, a written User Manual, a Troubleshooting Guide and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are also available from the Web site listed below.</p> <p>To access the Contributions Reporting system:<br /> <a target="_blank" href="https://lda.congress.gov/LC/">https://lda.congress.gov/LC/</a></p> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <th>For help with electronic filing and lobbyist accounts:</th> <th>For help with registrant IDs and passwords:</th> </tr> <tr> <td><p>House Legislative Resource Center <br /> B81 Cannon House Office Bldg<br /> Washington, DC 20515 <br /> 202-226-5200 <br /> <a href="mailto:lobbyinfo@mail.house.gov?subject=Contribution%20Reporting%20System%20Inquiry">lobbyinfo@mail.house.gov</a></p></td> <td><p>Senate Office of Public Records<br /> 232 Hart Senate Office Bldg<br /> Washington, DC 20510 <br /> 202-224-0758 <br /> <a href="mailto:lobby@sec.senate.gov?subject=Contribution%20Reporting%20System%20Inquiry">lobby@sec.senate.gov</a></p></td> </tr> </table> </div> <hr /> <div> <h3><span class="notice_date">March 2008</span><br /> Lobbying Disclosure Forms Update</h3> <p>The Clerk of the House and The Secretary of the Senate are pleased to announce that the LD-2 quarterly reporting form was released on March 3, 2008.
