When must an individual obtain a license to lobby?

You have an obligation to obtain a lobbying license from the Government Accountability Board, and
the organization that pays you is required to authorize you as its lobbyist, if you attempt to influence
state legislation1 or an administrative rule2 on behalf of a business or organization that employs you or
from which you receive a payment (other than reimbursement of expenses) and you communicate with
a state official or legislative employee about such matters on 5 or more days within a six month
reporting period.
