The deadline for filing the annual financial disclosure forms has passed. However, there is a grace period before the fines kick in. All filers whose forms are postmarked AFTER Friday, September 1, 2017 will incur an automatic statutory fine of $25 per day, for each day the form is late. The maximum total fine is $1,500. Names of disclosure filers for calendar year 2016 and their filing history are available on this website. Form 6 filings other than those of judges and judges of compensation claims are viewable in their entirety. If you are required to file annual financial disclosure and have not yet filed your form, please do so immediately and check this website to confirm that your form is received prior to September 1st.
A new complaint form was adopted at the Commission's December 2016 meeting. By law, it is the only form that can be used to file a complaint with the Commission; forms from previous years cannot be accepted. The new form contains helpful information for complainants about the complaint process and details about what information to include in a complaint.
The Commission has published its 2016 Annual Report to the Florida Legislature. The publication of this document is intended to inform the Legislature and the public of the Commission's work during the 2016 calendar year.

The Executive Branch Lobbyist Registration office, in conjunction with the Legislative Lobbyist Registration office has an online registration and reporting system that can be found at www.floridalobbyist.gov. It is a one-stop shop with all things lobbyist and streamlines the registration process, making it even easier to register to lobby in Florida and file compensation reports.
