(c) A notice of termination must identify the registration number of the principal, lobbying firm or lobbyist terminating registration.
(d) A notice of termination may be amended, but cannot be withdrawn.
(e) A registration statement cannot be revived or otherwise made effective after a notice of termination as to the registration statement has been filed.
(f) Lobbying may not occur after the filing of a notice of termination unless the lobbying is under a separate registration statement which has already been filed with the Department and which, at the time of the lobbying, has not been terminated.
(g) After a review of the notice of termination, the Department will issue to the lobbyist, lobbying firm or principal who filed the notice of termination a letter stating that the registrant has terminated registration. The letter will be issued within 15 days after the Department’s receipt of the notice of termination.
(h) The filing of a notice of termination or a termination report, or the issuance of a Department letter stating that the registrant has terminated registration, does not affect the Department’s authority to conduct audits, or the Commission’s, the Attorney General’s or the Board’s authority to conduct investigations, hearings or other proceedings under the act and this part.
