the meanings indicated;

(b)   "Lobbyist" means any person who, within a
reporting period, in the presence of any official in the
legislative or executive branch, including the Governor, has
communicated with that official with the purpose of
influencing any legislative action and who either incurs
expenses of $100 or more or receives $500 or more as

the purpose of influencing legislative action.

(c)   "Lobbying" means the performing of any act
requiring registration.

(d)   "Executive branch lobbyist" means any person who
