may further be defined by administrative regulations promulgated by the
Attorney General pursuant to this section.
At least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the performance of any service
pursuant to the contract, a professional solicitor or fundraising consultant shall
file with the Attorney General a copy of the contract. No solicitation pursuant to
the contract shall begin until the Attorney General has certified that the contract
meets the statutory requirements.
When filing the contract, a professional solicitor shall also file a written
promotion registration statement with the Attorney General. The statement
shall be attested to by the professional solicitor's authorized contracting officer
and shall be in the form as prescribed by the Attorney General in administrative
