Lobbying

On Oct.3. 2023, Session Law 2023-134 became law which requires lobbyists and lobbyist principals to pay a $500 fee at the time of each registration. The principal's fee is the same regardless of the number of lobbyists representing the principal. The Secretary of State is required to collect this fee and deposit the amount into the state’s General Fund. There is a non-refundable $3.00 electronic filing fee for credit cards. The non-refundable electronic fee for ACH transactions is $2.00.
