As the end of the year approaches, businesses with government contracts should review political contribution reporting obligations under state and local pay-to-play laws. Contribution disclosures for government contractors and lobbyist employers in Maryland must be filed by November 30th. Several other jurisdictions have filing deadlines early next year. Below is a summary of reporting obligations in key jurisdictions.

The list above is not comprehensive. Other states and localities may have their own pay-to-play reporting requirements. We encourage businesses to closely track the jurisdictions where they are providing services to government clients and implement procedures to record reportable contributions by covered donors.
