The Joint Legislative Ethics Commission (JLEC) recently updated the Ohio Lobbying Handbook.
As you are aware, the handbook continues to be a tremendous resource in understanding the lobbying laws, and how they are applied and enforced, in the State of Ohio. The 2009-2010 version and the Frequently Asked Questions document can be accessed by clicking on the link below:

JLEC has asked the Ohio Lobbying Association and its members to provide any additional insight or suggestions for clarifications, as they will continue to make updates to the document.
In addition, JLEC has also produced expenditure reference pocket cards. These cards provide quick information regarding legislative expenditures for agents and employers. Below is a sample. You may contact JLEC at 614.728.5100 to request your copy of the expenditure reference pocket card.
