Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The Lieutenant Governor's Office has not received any comments on this rule since it was originally adopted.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule outlines procedures for the Lieutenant Governor's Office to follow when processing lobbyist license/registration applications.
