Facts:
Ms. Alexander states that she started a new position with Sun Pharma in January 2022. As part of the job requirements, she needed to register as a lobbyist with the State of Louisiana. She received the documents and link from her company and began the registration process. She states that it was her first time registering as a lobbyist and did not realize it was a time sensitive matter.

Staff Notes: Ms. Alexander's "First Action" date for lobbying was entered as 1/4/22. To complete the registration process, her registration fee was due by 1/10/22. Her registration fee was paid on 2/6/22.
