Relates to late fees for failure to timely complete the on-line training course for lobbyists and clients

This bill (S 5590) adds a late fee provision for lobbyists and their clients who miss deadlines to complete mandatory online ethics training. It authorizes the commission to charge up to $25 per day for each day a lobbyist or client fails to finish the required training within 90 days of registration or during their biennial renewal period. The training covers New York ethics laws, regulations, and practical applications, as outlined in existing law. This change directly affects registered lobbyists and their clients by introducing financial penalties for late compliance. The bill amends existing ethics training requirements without altering the training content or schedule.
