Lobbyist Registration

  • In an effort to conduct business in a transparent manner and be held to the highest ethical standards, the School Board of Hillsborough County has enacted policy 6321, requiring all individuals acting as a lobbyist to annually register with the school district and disclose the identity of the principal whom they represent

    For purposes of this policy, a lobbyist is defined as any individual, firm, corporation or other business entity who engages in lobbying for the economic gain of a principal, regardless of whether they are compensated for lobbying. The term lobbyist specifically includes the principal, as well as any agent, officer or employee of a principal regardless of whether or not the employee's normal scope of employment includes lobbying activities. A principal is the entity wishing to do business with the school district.

    Lobbyist Registration List

    Hillsborough County School Board policy 6321 outlines the rules associated with lobbying the School Board, superintendent and members of the superintendent's cabinet. It is important to emphasize the policy specifically addresses the actions of lobbyists and it is solely the responsibility of the lobbyists to comply with the rules of the policy. Additionally, nothing contained within the policy or these guidelines is intended to relieve the lobbyist of any and all federal and state regulations related to lobbyists and any obligations to report such activity.
