Any person who spends more than five hours during any calendar quarter lobbying the Metro Councilor is required to register as a lobbyist with Metro. Download a registration form or view current registered lobbyists.

The Metro Council passed an ethics ordinance in 1999 directing lobbyists to file a registration statement with the council. This requirement applies to any person who spends more than five hours during any calendar quarter lobbying the council.

For the purpose of this requirement, the following definitions apply:

“Lobbying” means influencing, or attempting to influence, legislative action through oral or written communication with Metro officials, solicitation of others to influence or attempt to influence legislative action or attempting to obtain the good will of Metro councilors.
“Lobbyist” means: (i) Any individual who agrees to provide personal services for money or any other consideration for the purpose of lobbying; and (ii) Any employee of a business, not-for-profit corporation, association, organization or other group, who engages in lobbying.

Term of registration

Registrations expire on Jan. 31 of the next odd-numbered year after filing, except for registrations submitted on or after July 1 of an even-numbered year, which expire on Jan. 31 of the second odd-numbered year after filing.

The lobbyist registration requirements are codified in Metro Code chapter 2.17: Code of ethics for Metro officials and requirements for lobbyists.
