A complete compliance treatment of federal and state political law for government relations firms, in-house advocacy teams, trade associations, nonprofits, and their counsel. Parts I through V cover the Lobbying Disclosure Act in operational detail: the defined terms that determine coverage, the registration and quarterly and semiannual reporting mechanics, the exceptions and the coverage gaps, and enforcement. Parts VI through X cover the Foreign Agents Registration Act, its far broader definition of a foreign principal, the ten-day registration and labeling obligations, the three exemptions that decide most questions, the advisory opinion and inspection process, and the framework for choosing between the two registration regimes. Parts XI through XIV cover the conduct rules: congressional and executive branch gift and travel rules, financial disclosure, the revolving door statutes, and the criminal corruption provisions as narrowed by McDonnell, Skilling, Percoco, Ciminelli, and Snyder. Parts XV through XIX cover campaign finance for corporate and association clients, pay-to-play regimes, nonprofit and tax constraints including the 501(h) election, restrictions on lobbying with federal funds, and state and local registration. Part XX builds the compliance program and Part XXI is the verification list.
