A person that would otherwise be required to register and report under this subtitle need not do so if that person:employs a lobbyist; and reasonably believes that the lobbyist will:register as required by this subtitle; and timely report all expenses incurred in connection with that person’s lobbying activities. A person exempt under subsection (a) of this section must still complete the authorization required by <cite data-path="|8|§8-11">§ 8-11 {“Employer authorization required”} of this subtitle</cite>. If the lobbyist fails to report the information when required by this subtitle, the person previously exempt under this subsection immediately becomes subject to the registration and reporting requirements of this subtitle.
