RE:
Request that the Board waive the $500 late fee assessed against Reed Henderson for his failure to timely file a lobbyist expenditure report.
Facts:
Mr. Henderson filed his lobbyist expenditure report that was due by March 25, 2013, ten days late on April 4, 2013. He was assessed a late fee of $500. Mr. Henderson states that he filed to be a lobbyist at the end of February but wasn't notified of the date he would be registered until mid March therefore he was unaware he needed to file a February report. He further states that he did not lobby in February.
