Lobbyists Fail To Observe Law
A Missouri AP report finds 300 to 400 people register as lobbyists yearly, but few know or follow the 1965 registration law. In 1973 under 80 of about 400 filed required reports, 20 percent missed the May 28 deadline, and only about 16 percent of on time filers met all requirements. Despite no convictions in nine years, the law demands detailed interim and post session reports on money spent and publications tied to lobbying. Several lobbyists admit they had not read the statute and cite advice from lawyers in the legislature.
