JCOPE Extends Filing Deadline for Client Semi-Annual Reports and Source of Funding Disclosure
The New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE) updated its lobbying application system to allow lobbyist clients to file through the system beginning in early July. Because the July 15, 2019 deadline for submitting semiannual client reports and source of funding disclosure reports falls only a few days after the system update, JCOPE is granting an extension on filing these reports until July 31, 2019.
The extension does not apply to lobbyist bi-monthly reports. The deadline for filing lobbyist bi-monthly reports covering May and June remains July 15, 2019.
