The Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Act (Minnesota Statutes Chapter 10A) requires lobbyists to report disbursements for lobbying purposes to the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board twice each year. The Act also requires principals to file an annual report disclosing expenditures to the nearest $20,000. This summary is based on the reports of lobbyists and principals filed for calendar year 2017.
During 2017, 1,465 individuals were registered as lobbyists to represent 1,513 associations and individuals. Lobbyists filed 4,231 periodic reports for the twelve-month period, 95% of which were filed electronically. The lobbyist disbursement reports disclosed a total of $12,589,731 spent on lobbying activities. This amount does not include salaries and fees paid to lobbyists.
Principals filed 1,427 annual reports for 2017, 82% of which were filed electronically. Principal expenditures were disclosed in two numbers: 1) the amount spent to influence administrative action by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MN PUC) in cases of rate setting, power plant and power line siting, and granting of certificates of need; and 2) all other lobbying expenditures in Minnesota not included in number one. Expenditures by principals may be rounded to the nearest $20,000 for reporting purposes. Principals reported a total of $75,625,666 in expenditures, with $9,641,044 of that total being expenditures for lobbying the MN PUC and $65,984,622 in expenditures for all other lobbying. This amount includes lobbyist salaries, advertising and public relations campaigns, and all other lobbying disbursements made by the principals and lobbyists.
Lobbyists reported that 1,005 (70%) of the 1,427 associations represented made disbursements for lobbying purposes. The reports disclosed that 80% of lobbying disbursements were made for the purpose of influencing legislative action, 16% of disbursements were made to influence administrative action, and 4% were made to influence the official actions of metropolitan governmental units. See page 5 for a comparison of total lobbying disbursements by type of lobbying reported and total lobbying expenditures reported by principals in 2016 and 2017.
Lobbyists must disclose gifts, loans, items, and services equal in value to $5 or more given or paid to officials by the lobbyist, the lobbyist’s principal, or an employee of the lobbyist. Twenty-four lobbyists reported giving items or benefits totaling $8,807 to 127 legislators, one constitutional officer, and three public officials. See page 21 for definitions and see subsequent pages for details of the gifts.
Lobbyists are not required to disclose their salaries or fees. Lobbyists and principals are not required to disclose political contributions, which are disclosed by the recipients on periodic campaign finance reports.
Education Minnesota reported the largest total lobbyist disbursements during the period, and the largest total disbursements for legislative action lobbying. CenterPoint Energy Resources Corporation reported the largest total disbursements for administrative action lobbying. The largest total disbursements for attempts to influence actions of metropolitan governmental units was reported by the National Association of Tobacco Outlets, Inc.

-2- LOBBYING OVERVIEW
What is lobbying? Lobbying is attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or defined local officials. Any activity that directly supports this communication is considered a part of lobbying.
Who is a lobbyist? For the purpose of this summary, “lobbyist” means:
1) An individual who is engaged for pay or other consideration of more than $3,000 from all sources in a year for the purpose of attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials;
2) An individual who is not compensated more than $3,000 but spends more than $250 in any year (not including travel expenses and membership dues) for the purpose of attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials;
3) A non-elected local official or an employee of a political subdivision who spends more than 50 hours in any month attempting to influence legislative or administrative action or the official action of a metropolitan governmental unit, other than the political subdivision employing the official or employee, by communicating with or urging others to communicate with public or local officials, including time spent monitoring any of the forenamed actions and related research, analysis, and compilation and dissemination of information relating to legislative, administrative, or metropolitan governmental unit policies in Minnesota.
Who is not a lobbyist? 1) An individual who merely communicates with a public official to obtain information or request an interpretation of a law, rule or agency action;
2) An individual who volunteers personal time to work without pay on a lobbying campaign and does not spend more than $250 on lobbying activities; and
3) An individual who provides administrative support to a lobbyist whose salary and expenses are reported by the lobbyist and who does not actually lobby.
-3- About lobbyist A lobbyist must register with the Campaign Finance and Public registration Disclosure Board on behalf of each association or individual that the lobbyist represents. Registration information includes the name and address of the registrant; the name and address of the association (including officers and directors) or individual represented; the lobbyist’s reporting status; and a general description of subjects on which the lobbyist expects to lobby and the kind of action the lobbyist seeks to influence.
Principal A principal is an individual or association that spends more than $500 in the aggregate in any calendar year to engage, compensate, or authorize the expenditure of money by a lobbyist; or is not included in the definition above and spends at least $50,000 in any calendar year in efforts to influence legislative action, administrative action, or the official action of metropolitan governmental units.
