The board must prescribe a registration form, which must include:
If a lobbyist fails to file a registration form by the date that the form was due, the board may impose a late filing fee of $25 per day, not to exceed $1,000, starting on the day after the form was due. The board must send notice by certified mail to a lobbyist who fails to file a form within ten business days after the form was due that the lobbyist may be subject to a civil penalty for failure to file the form. A lobbyist who fails to file a form within seven days after the certified mail notice was sent by the board is subject to a civil penalty imposed by the board of up to $1,000.
The restrictions of section 10.60 notwithstanding, the board may publish the information required in subdivision 2 on its website.
For good cause shown, the board must grant exemptions to the requirement that email addresses be provided.
