WYSE Legal Counsel December 6, 2007 The Honorable Jon S. Corzine Governor, State of New Jersey State House CN 001 Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Corzine: Pursuant to the “Legislative and Governmental Process Activities Disclosure Act,” N.J.S.A. 52:13C-18 et seq. (hereafter “the Act”), I am enclosing the Quarterly Report Summary for the third quarter of 2007. At the conclusion of the third quarter of 2007, 1042 individuals were registered as governmental affairs agents. The deadline for filing of the third quarter report of governmental affairs agents was October 10, 2007. Effective January 1, 1992 and in accordance with Chapter 243 and 244 of the Laws of 1991, the Election Law Enforcement Commission was given additional jurisdiction over and supervision of lobbying activities which were formerly under the Attorney General. The purpose of the law is to provide adequate disclosure of the activities of governmental affairs agents so that the integrity of government is assured. The Election Law Enforcement Commission continues to assist governmental affairs agents with information and materials that will improve the reporting function. During the month of March each year, the staff of the Commission mails a reminder notice to each registered agent. A delinquent letter is sent each quarter to each agent who does not file. These efforts will enhance compliance with the law which will result in optimal disclosure to the public. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Located at: 28 W.
