RE:
PFD answer submitted by Polly McKaskle, a member of the Village of Forest Board of Aldermen, West Carroll Parish.
Facts:
Polly McKaskle is a member of the Village of Forest Board of Aldermen, West Carroll Parish. She was elected on November 6, 2012. She states that since she did not serve in 2012, she was not required to file a 2012 Tier 3 annual pfd by May 15, 2013.

R.S. 42:1124.3 states that a pfd shall be filed during each year a filer holds office. Since Ms. McKaskle held office in 2013, she was required to file a pfd by May 15, 2013 covering calendar year 2012.

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.

Recommendations:
Advise Ms. McKaskle she is required to file a 2012 Tier 3 annual pfd.

Assigned Attorney: Tracy Barker
