Why does she need to be required to do that, in order to penalize violations?
That's how you'll get more lobbyists registering on time and registering accurately: Have a penalty for not doing so. Right now, there's zero penalty.
Again, she could have named and shamed all of these. It's actually 19,822 lobbyists, according to her own annual report, who have violated the law since 2018. She could have named and shamed all of them, and she didn't name or shame any of them.
Give her the power to fine, but from her record, she's going to let 99.9% of them off without a fine. That's why she needs to be required. The penalties need to be mandatory.
