Duran, state Bureau of Elections Director Bobbi Shearer confirmed Tuesday. The NHCC Foundation will not contest the fine for violations of the state lobbying law, and “will endeavor to meet all requirements of the Lobbyist Regulation Act in the future,” attorney Brad L.

The Foundation has also now registered as a lobbying entity for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011, Hays wrote, and will follow up “in a timely manner” with the required lobbying expenditures and political contributions forms for each of those years. “We appreciate that the Foundation acknowledged its responsibility under the law and is complying with the Lobbyist Regulation Act,” Sec. Duran said Tuesday. “The Secretary of State’s office will continue to work to insure full compliance with the Act.” Read full story here: News New Mexico
