Two lobbying groups funded by Pennsylvania plaintiffs firm Pond Lehocky Stern Giordano have agreed to pay a fine for failing to register as lobbyists before working to oppose two pieces of workers’ compensation legislation.

The Pennsylvania State Ethics Commission announced a final adjudication Dec. 7 stating that PA Works Now and Citizens to Protect Our Pennsylvania both violated the state’s lobbying disclosure laws by failing to register with the Pennsylvania Department of State. Their failure to register was deemed to be negligent, the commission said. According to the announcement, the organizations entered into a consent agreement to pay an administrative penalty.
