			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are engaged in lobbying — or employ individuals to lobby on behalf of your organization — there are new rules coming into force April 1, 2010. Familiarize yourself with the newly amended <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.leg.bc.ca/39th1st/3rd_read/gov19-3.htm" target="_blank">Lobbyists Registration Act</a></span> to ensure you are prepared and in compliance with the legislation.</p>
<p>A new free, user-friendly online registration system will be launched April 1, 2010, when the amendments are brought into force.</p>
<ul>
<li>Those re-registering or registering for the first time need to obtain a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.bceid.ca/" target="_blank">business B.C. electronic ID</a></span>.</li>
<li>Consultant lobbyists must re-register within 10 days — by April 10, 2010.</li>
<li>Senior officers for non-profit and for-profit organizations must re-register all in-house lobbyists within 30 days — by May 1, 2010. Note: In-house lobbyists no longer register themselves.</li>
</ul>
<p>For details about registering and the newly amended act, click <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/lra/system/index.htm" target="_blank">here</a></span>.</p>
