Section 86103 Of Article 1. Registration And Reporting From California Government Code >> Title 9. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 1.
86103
. A lobbyist certification shall include all of the following:
(a) A recent photograph of the lobbyist, the size of which shall
be prescribed by the Secretary of State.
(b) The full name, business address, and telephone number of the
lobbyist.
(c) A statement that the lobbyist has read and understands the
prohibitions contained in Sections 86203 and 86205.
(d) (1) In the case of a lobbyist who filed a completed lobbyist
certification in connection with the last regular session of the
Legislature, a statement that the lobbyist has completed, within the
previous 12 months or will complete no later than June 30 of the
following year, the course described in subdivision (b) of Section
8956. If the lobbyist certification states that the lobbyist will
complete the course no later than June 30 of the following year, the
certification shall be accepted on a conditional basis. Thereafter,
if the lobbyist completes the course no later than June 30 of the
following year, the lobbyist shall file a new lobbyist certification
with the Secretary of State which shall replace the conditional
lobbyist certification previously filed. If the lobbyist
certification states that the lobbyist will complete the course no
later than June 30 of the following year and the lobbyist fails to do
so, the conditional lobbyist certification shall be void and the
individual shall not act as a lobbyist pursuant to this title until
he or she has completed the course and filed with the Secretary of
State a lobbyist certification stating that he or she has completed
the course and the date of completion. It shall be a violation of
this section for any individual to act as a lobbyist pursuant to this
title once his or her conditional certification is void.
(2) If, in the case of a new lobbyist certification, the lobbyist
has not completed the course within the previous 12 months, the
lobbyist certification shall include a statement that the lobbyist
will complete a scheduled course within 12 months, and the lobbyist
certification shall be accepted on a conditional basis. Following the
lobbyist's completion of the ethics course, the lobbyist shall file
a new lobbyist certification with the Secretary of State which shall
replace the conditional lobbyist certification previously filed. If
the new lobbyist certification states that the lobbyist will complete
the course within 12 months and the lobbyist fails to do so, the
conditional lobbyist certification shall be void and the individual
shall not act as a lobbyist pursuant to this title until he or she
has completed the course and filed with the Secretary of State a
lobbyist certification stating he or she has completed the course and
the date of completion. It shall be a violation of this section for
any individual to act as a lobbyist pursuant to this title once his
or her conditional certification is void.
(e) Any other information required by the commission consistent
with the purposes and provisions of this chapter.
