The Commission also collects, maintains, and discloses the records of appearance before State regulatory agencies. It is empowered to hold hearings and impose civil penalty fines on lobbyists for violations of the Lobbying Law. The agency is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill. State Operations The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $1,430,000 for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, an increase of $200,000 or 16.3 percent over the SFY 2001-02 funding level. The Executive proposes the following: -- a $85,000 net increase in State Operations funding to reflect salary adjustments and other costs associated with agency operations; -- a $85,000 decrease in agency personal service expenditures associated with savings achieved by elimination of two FTE funded vacancies and related nonpersonal service. The Executive recommends a Special Revenue Other nonpersonal service funding of $200,000 increase for the e-filing pilot project. The funding reflects an increase of $100,000 or 100 percent from SFY 2001- 02 and is associated with increased civil penalty fines assessed for violation of the Lobbying Act. |
