You have an obligation to obtain a lobbying license from the Government Accountability Board, and the organization that pays you is required to authorize you as its lobbyist, if you attempt to influence state legislation or an administrative rule on behalf of a business or organization that employs you or from which you receive a payment (other than reimbursement of expenses) and you communicate with a state official or legislative employee about such matters on 5 or more days within a six month reporting period. *If you are not acting on behalf of anyone other than yourself, you need not be licensed or authorized. *If you represent the views of a business or organization but do so as an unpaid volunteer, you need not be licensed or authorized. *If you represent the views of a business or organization that pays you, but convey those views only to legislators elected from the Senate and Assembly districts in which you reside, you need not be licensed or authorized.
