Lobbyists and organizations that employ lobbyists are governed under Chapter 13 of the Wisconsin Statutes. They are required to complete a Statement of Lobbying Activities and Expense Report every 6 months. The report for January – June is due July 31 and the report for July – December is due January 31. They are also required to report within 15 days of lobbying on a specific legislative and administrative proposal and topic. All reporting of lobbying administration is done online using the Government Accountability Board's award winning Eye on Lobbying website.
