The exception that I referenced in the registration-by-default approach does essentially allow for lobbying by small businesses if that is not their primary purpose. If their primary purpose is running a hardware store, for example, they have fewer than six employees and they do less than 50 hours of cumulative lobbying over the course of the year, then they are exempted from the act. They, as well as, let's say, a small.... A swim team, for example, is also exempted from the act.
The LTA isn't able to level every playing field, but we are cognizant of that issue.
