Registration.
El Paso City Code § 2.94.060
in effect2.94.060 - Registration.
A. Each registrant shall file annually with the city clerk a registration form signed under oath not later than two business days after becoming a lobbyist and meeting the requirements to register set forth in Section 2.94.040 of this chapter. If the registrant is not an individual, an authorized officer or agent of the registrant shall sign the form. A registrant must file a registration schedule for each person from whom he receives compensation or reimbursement. The registration shall be on a form prescribed by the city clerk and shall include:
1. The registrant's full name, permanent street address and mailing address, if different;
2. The name and address and nature of business of each lobby employer or lobbying entity on whose behalf the registrant will lobby; and
3. A statement of all municipal questions on which the registrant has lobbied for each client in the year preceding the filing of the registration and the municipal questions or subjects on which the registrant foreseeably will lobby during the registration period.
B. A registrant who is an attorney shall not be required to report under this section or under Section 2.94.070 of this chapter, specific facts or information that would cause the attorney to violate the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct; provided however, that the ability to exclude certain privileged or confidential information under this subsection shall not constitute nor be interpreted to constitute a complete exception to the registration or activity reporting requirement for an attorney who is required to register under this chapter.
C. Each registrant shall file a notice of termination within thirty days after the registrant ceases the activity that required registration; however, this will not relieve the registrant of the reporting requirement of Section 2.94.070 of this chapter for that reporting period.
D. At the time of registering, a registrant shall pay to the city and the city clerk shall collect an annual registration fee in the amount of one hundred dollars. Effective September 1, 2006, a registrant shall pay to the city and the city clerk shall collect an annual registration fee in the amount set by the budget or other appropriate resolution of the city council, provided, however, that if such fee is not contained in such a resolution as of September 1, 2006, the fee set in this chapter in the amount of one hundred dollars shall continue until such time as the fee is established in the budget or other appropriate resolution of the city council.
E. A registration expires on the last day of the month of filing of the following year.
