It is true that Amendment 41 prohibits a former legislator from personally representing another person or entity for compensation before any other statewide elected officeholder or member of the General Assembly for two years following his or her departure from office. Stated another way, a former legislator must wait two years before accepting employment that would require his or her registration as a professional lobbyist under section 24-6-301, C.R.S., or other relevant laws or statutes because of the former legislator's new position. See, IEC PS 09-02. Because this position would not require you to register as a professional lobbyist, it is permissible to accept it.
