KRS 6.829: Commission's duties with respect to legislative lobbying.

(1) The commission shall review each registration statement, expenditure statement,

and financial transaction statement filed with the commission, to determine whether

the statement includes all the information required. If the statement does not include

all the required information, or a legislative agent or employer has failed to file a

registration statement, the commission shall send notification by certified mail to

the person who filed the statement regarding the deficiency in the statement, or to

the per son who failed to file the statement regarding that failure. Any person so

notified by the commission shall, not later than ten (10) days after receiving the

notice, file a registration statement or an amended statement that does include all

the information required.

(2) The commission shall keep on file the statements required by KRS 6.807, 6.821,

and 6.824. Those statements are public records and open to public inspection, and

the commission shall computerize them so that the information contained in them is

readily accessible to the general public. The commission shall provide copies of the

statements to the general public upon request and may charge a reasonable fee not

to exceed the cost of copying each statement.

(3) The commission shall prescribe and make available an appropriate form for filing

the information required by KRS 6.807, 6.821, and 6.824. The form shall contain

the following notices in boldface type: "ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY

FILES A FALSE STATEMENT IS IN VIOLATION OF STATE LAW AND

SUBJECT TO FINES AND OTHER PENALTIES."

(4) The commission shall publish a handbook that explains this code in clear and

concise language, and make it available free of charge to members of the General

Assembly, legislative agents, employers, and any other interested persons.

(5) On or before the fifteenth day of February of each year, the commission shall, in a

manner and form it determines, publish a report containing statistical information

on the registration statements filed with it during the preceding year.

(6) Any regulations promulgated by the commission to implement this code shall be

adopted in accordance with KRS Chapter 13A.
