RE:
Waiver request submitted by Harold Allbritton, a member of the Spearsville Board of Aldermen, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 3 annual pfd days late.
Facts:
Mr. Albritton states that he believes he is exempted from filing Tier 3 annual pfds. It appears from the information provided by Mr. Albritton that he is confusing the filing requirements under pfd provisions with those provisions addressing campaign finance. There are some requirements, if met, that would exempt filers from having to file campaign finance reports. However, there are no laws which exempt a filer from having to file pfds.

Comments:
TYPE OF REPORT: 2010 Tier 3 Annual Report
DATE NOD RECEIVED: February 13, 2012
DATE REPORT FILED: February 26, 2013
DAYS LATE: 358 days

ASSESSED LATE FEE: $1,500

Law:
La. R.S. 42:1124.3 requires persons holding a public office who represent a voting district having a population of less than 5,000 and each member of the governing authority or management board of a charter school created pursuant to Chapter 42 of Title 17 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 to file a financial disclosure statement on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.
La. R.S. 42:1124.4 of the Code provides that upon discovery of the failure to file, failure to timely file, omission of information or inaccurate information, the Board shall notify the filer by sending him a notice of delinquency by certified mail. The notice of delinquency shall inform the person that the financial statement must be filed, or that the information must be disclosed or accurately disclosed, or that a written answer contesting the allegation of such failure, omission, or inaccuracy must be filed no later than seven (7) business days after receipt of the notice of delinquency.
