LOBBYING: Provides relative to the assessment of penalties on lobbyists for failure to timely file required reports (EN DECREASE GF RV See Note)
HB 106 updates Louisiana laws regarding penalties for lobbyists who fail to file reports on time. The bill specifically adds new sections to three existing statutes to clarify how deadlines are calculated. Under these changes, days for filing are counted by excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. This adjustment directly affects lobbyists and the officials who enforce reporting requirements by providing a clearer method for determining late filing deadlines.
