1999 Wis Eth Bd 07 - LOBBYING AND LOBBYISTS

The Ethics Board advises that:

(1) Wisconsin law requires an officer or member of a union who makes a
       lobbying communication on the union’s behalf on more than four days in
       a reporting period to be licensed and authorized as a lobbyist if the
       union reimburses the member’s employer for the individual’s wages for
       the time spent in lobbying activities; and

(2) the union should include, in its semi-annual report of lobbying
       expenditures, the union’s salary reimbursement for an individual’s time
       spent in lobbying activities, whether or not the individual is a lobbyist.
