Illinois lobbyist fees
Judge Gottschall ordered an injunction against the State of Illinois on February 12, 2010, from continuing a 2009 increase on registration fees for lobbyists.
Illinois raised normal lobbyist registration fees from $350 to $1,000 along with the fee for non-profit groups employing lobbyists from $150 to $1,000 in 2009. Despite the injunction, the judge has not reinstated the $350 and $150 fees until further arguments come from the Illinois Secretary of State whether to have a smaller increase or to keep fees at their previous amounts.
