At its meeting on December 19, the Oklahoma Ethics Commission agreed to reinstate and reactivate the deactivated Guardian lobbyist and campaign finance online disclosure system. The commission also agreed to terminate its contract with RFD & Associates, Inc., the contractor responsible for the Guardian 2.0 filing system, and to authorize the Office of Attorney General to pursue remedies for potential legal claims. Lobbyist renewal registrations and campaign finance reporting have been inactive or unable to be submitted online since the launch of Guardian 2.0 in beta earlier this fall. Contacting commission staff is recommended during this transition to ensure registration and reporting compliance at ethics@ethics.ok.gov.
