The proposed amendments to Chapter 34-12, F.A.C., are intended to implement Section 5, Chapter 2005-359, Laws of Florida. With its January 1, 2006 effective date, it is necessary to amend Chapter 34-12 to provide for the registration of Executive Branch lobbyists, require lobbying firms to file quarterly compensation reports, provide an automatic fine process for late-filed compensation reports, and implement other statutory changes. The proposed rules will supplant the emergency rules that became effective March 17, 2006.
