Sec. 305.0063. MODIFIED REPORTING. (a) A person required to register under this chapter may, when filing the registration form or registration renewal form, elect to file an activities report under this section instead of Section 305.006 if the person does not intend to make expenditures reportable under Section 305.006(b) of more than $1,000 during a calendar year, not including the person's own travel, food, or lodging expenses or the person's own membership dues.
(b) To be entitled to file reports under this section, the registrant must file with the registration form or registration renewal form a written declaration of intent not to exceed $1,000 in expenditures during each calendar year in which that registration or registration renewal is effective.
(c) A registrant filing under this section shall annually file the report required by Section 305.006. The report must be filed not later than January 10 and must cover the activities occurring during the previous calendar year.
(d) A registrant who exceeds $1,000 in expenditures shall file monthly reports as required by Section 305.007. The first report filed after exceeding $1,000 covers the period beginning January 1 through the date on which the next reporting period ends.
